Thanks Justin, getting rid of the select, operate, deselect alone resolved it.
Just a noob question:
what you mean by using the callable object? doesn't the command accepts only strings? if i remove the "" and the () i get an error stating i ve sent an argument but getFloor() takes no arguments.

thanks

Is it the "rigid()" function that is crashing Maya? I suppose you could try adding a sleep to see if it at least prevents the crash, and go from there.

import time
time.sleep(0.1)  # 1/10 of a second

That aside, there are some things you can probably do to make it more efficient. Some of the commands take a list of objects, so that you don't have to loop over each one and call it individually:

# operate on the whole selection instead of doing a
# for x in y: select, operate, deselect
cmds.connectDynamic(selection, f='gravityField1')
cmds.rigidBody(selecton, active=True,iv=[0.0,-10.0,0])
cmds.rigidBody(floorSel , active=False,passive=True)

Also, you can make your callback connections a bit more tightly bound by using the callable object:

floorBut=cmds.button(label="Load Floor",c=getFloor)
freezeBut=cmds.button(label="Freeze transforms",c=freeze)


Hope that helps.

    Hi all. i ve been assigned a task where i need to simulate a large
    number of
    rigid bodies. i developed a script to aid me in the process but
    the thing is
    that it works ok with few objects, but when gets to more than 200
    objects
    it immediately crashes maya. Sorry for my newbieness but is there
    a way
    i can make the for loop process to slow down so that it slowly
    creates rbd
    one at  a time, maybe that can work. i have the script here
    http://pastebin.com/5gDiG9y6 if you
    want to have a look.

    cheers
