Simulation Tutorials Overview

The Simulation Tutorials provide help for getting started with using the Visual Simulation Environment (VSE). The Simulation Overview provides a general overview of the Simulation Runtime and some of its features and design.

VSE requires a graphics card that supports DirectX9 with shader model 2.0 or greater. Shader model 3.0 is required for better anti-aliasing.

 

The Simulation Tutorials are organized into three categories which reflect their level of complexity: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. You should work through them in this order if you are new to the Simulator.

Beginner

• Simulation Introduction
• Empty Simulation Project
• Editor Overview
• Simulated Robot

 

Intermediate

• Custom Simulated Entities
• Simulated Apartment Scene

 

Advanced

• Multiple Simulated Sensors
• Multiple Simulated Robots
• Simulated Articulated Entities

 

Note that the Simulation Tutorials 1 to 6 which were available in RDS 2008 have been superseded by this new set of tutorials. They are available on CodePlex. The new tutorials explain more functionality as well as using the new simulated sensors.
