Topic Description

Detailed Description

Hello,

I installed Isaac Sim 6.0 (developer version) from GitHub (v6.0.0-dev2) and I am trying to test the Newton physics engine.

I launched the simulator using the isaac-sim.newton.bat file as instructed. However, I am encountering an issue where the application crashes when I press the “Play” button after loading a model.

My questions are:

  1. What could be the possible cause of this crash?

  2. Is this a known issue with the Newton backend or the dev version?

  3. When is the expected release timeline for the official GA (General Availability) version of Isaac Sim 6.0?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
