Autodesk Synthesis - FRC Game Simulator
 
Synthesis is a new product released by Autodesk in order to help the FRC community better design and program their robots by testing them in a realistic physics environment.

We have worked very hard to bring you this simulator which will be officially releasing on our website on Wednesday, November 18th.

In addition, Synthesis will also be the first Autodesk product released with full Open Source access shortly after November 18th.

Obviously with autodesk being the creator of the software this is going to revolve around autodesk products, however will there be support for importing from other cad software such as solidworks? whether it be the native files or step files.

This looks awesome. As a programmer and a Autodesk product user already I can't wait to try this out.

I am super excited for this release! I've been following it's progress since September. There seems to be some really cool features that I can't wait to try out.

Currently, LabView isn't supported in this program, correct? Our team mainly uses LabView, and rarely uses C++ and/or Java.

Great work, and I can't wait till the 18th!

Is this really an Autodesk "product"?

If I go to the Autidesk home page, and find a list of their products, will this be in the list? With full customer service support, and all the other support, training and documentation that accompany an Autodesk product?

I read that Autodesk Interns create this program, so I will assume that customer service support, and things in relation to that will not provided. Maybe, in the future, if the program gains some popularity, that these things will be implemented.

Thanks Justin - Let's see what the OP has to say before giving up hope. - I'm not optimistic that it will truly be a "product", but I'll be delighted to receive a pleasant surprise. - Blake

This looks awesome! I'm curious to see how the motion of the various robot components will be implemented in the design exporter.

Fun fact - if you look at the source code for the Downloads page, there's a download link already there, just commented out.

http://bxd.autodesk.com/synthesis/Do...sInstaller.exe

I get the first 3.1 MB downloaded very quickly, but then it stalls. Maybe they're still getting their CDN working.

I'm doing something similar.
I'm checking every hour on the dot if it's there.

No luck yet...

I know everyone is excited about Synthesis, but the Aftermath training is really cool. I would consider myself a novice and no one on my team is much better than me, so I'm super pumped that the training is in the form of a game. I know my team is going to go wild with this, because I see how Khan academy has switched students from wasting time on Netflix and social media to wasting time learning.

For some reason kids really dig earning imaginary, valueless points!:D

The download link might still not be available, so I neither confirm nor deny having already installed Synthesis on my computer. But I really need those tutorials though :confused:
