While Shlok’s suggestion is a possibility, it would pollute the Chrono source tree. It is a lot better to separate your own projects and experiments from the Chrono demos. Two options for that:
1. Create your own project dependent on Chrono. The Chrono distribution contains a sample for such a project (see https://github.com/projectchrono/chrono/tree/main/template_project). Copy that entire ‘template_project’ directory elsewhere and then run CMake within it. This is documented at: https://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_install_project.html. 2. Create a separate hierarchy of projects and experiments inside Chrono (better yet, in a fork of the Chrono repository), parallel to the ‘demos’ in Chrono. For an example on how you could set that up, see for example my own fork of Chrono at https://github.com/rserban/chrono and look at how I set up the ‘src/projects/’ hierarchy. --Radu From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Heming Chang Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2023 8:46 AM To: ProjectChrono <[email protected]> Subject: [chrono] Re: Why can't I find the demo in the folder after generating the release solution Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I will try some of your solutions. Thank you again! 在2023年4月11日星期二 UTC+8 13:53:13<[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 写道： Hello Heming! I am a member of the project chrono group (although not Professor Negrut!), but I believe I may have an idea as to why this may be happening. From the information you've provided, I have a feeling that you might not have added your custom CPP demo to the required CMakeList.txt which is used by CMake to know which demos to build! (Sorry if you did do so!). If this is the case, could you please take a look at this line of code from GitHub? https://github.com/projectchrono/chrono/blob/149fffc6840ebe45d73f47a1730a2d0f358f66cc/src/demos/cascade/CMakeLists.txt#L46. This is a CMakeLists.txt file from our cascade module inside the demos folder that specifies the names of the demos (corresponding to file names) to build! If not done already, could you please try adding your file name to the appropriate CMakeLists.txt in the folder as done in the code above! if this was not it, please let me know so and I'll do my best to work with you and come up with a solution for this! I hope this helps!
