Autodesk Synthesis - FRC Game Simulator

[BXD Autodesk]

Fun Fact- That was the Alpha 2.0.0.0 version that was released to anyone willing to try it.

We are releasing the 3.0.0.0 version today.

Will the tutorials on how to import robot CADs and code be available today as well?

Hello guys, girls, and robots,

I am very happy to see that you are all excited and we are working very hard to make sure the first full release of Autodesk Synthesis will be bug free and everything you can imagine!

You may expect a downloadable link posted around 3:30pm - 4:00pm PST

Has there been any word on when we might expect Labview support with Synthesis (if any)?

[Greg McKaskle]

I don't believe there was any word regarding LV support. NI was aware of the development at various points, but the intern students wanted to focus on the other languages first.

I suspect that LV support will not be too hard to add, but I'm as eager as anyone to see how it works and how to plug into it -- our plate runneth over, so unfortunately we weren't able to be involved in the development.

I'll definitely be digging into the system to figure out how to plug into it. I'll for sure be adding C# support before the season starts, and if that goes well LabVIEW and python shouldn't be too difficult to add. Expecislly since LV on windows would be able to plug directly into the .NET plugin interface if interfacing at a lower level is difficult.

Yes. I am so ready to throw our Robot CAD and code on this thing and actually get to simulate driving our robot.

I assume no Solidworks support
