Hi everyone,
I tried to add a Fixedjoint by program, when I setup the FixedJoint’s attribute values to the Isaac Sim, the result is different. My Isaac Sim version is 2022.1.1. Following is my code. Any one can help me to know why it didn’t work?
Hi @rthaker , sorry about reply you so late. Because of NDA, I need to confirm it.
The following video is my test video, and I edited my scene usd file and try to add fixed joint.
It looks good.
The following video is I tried to add the reference usd file to the stage by program,
and I add the fixed joint, and you can see in the video’s fixed joint attribute values is different.
The following picture is I add fixed joint’s code. I think it should be the same with what I setup doesn’t it?
Hi,
For a fixed joint the localPose0/1 must be set in a way that the body0/1 * localpose0/1 match the same transformation. Otherwise the simulation will snap to the transformation0, which is what I believe is happening on your video.
This is the code for reference we use to make sure this is setup right (Add->Physics->Joint):

to_path = to_prim.GetPath().pathString if to_prim is not None and to_prim.IsValid() else ""
single_selection = from_path == "" or to_path == ""
# to_path can be not writable as in case of instancing, find first writable path
