Open Dynamics Engine (ODE)

If you need to do dynamic simulations, you will probably need the RobWorkSim package. If you are in doubt and just need RobWorkStudio, you can likely skip this section.

Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) must be compiled from source. Use Git to download the source from bitbucket at the address:

https://bitbucket.org/odedevs/ode

CMake is used by ODE 0.15.2 and newer. It takes 10 minutes to setup and compile, and takes up around 85 MB. This is the recommended procedure:

set Install_DIR=C:\Local
git clone https://bitbucket.org/odedevs/ode
cd ode
git checkout 0.16.2
mkdir Build
cd Build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%Install_DIR%\ode -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF -DODE_WITH_DEMOS=OFF -DODE_WITH_OU=ON -DODE_WITH_TESTS=OFF -DODE_DOULBE_PRECISION=ON
msbuild ode.sln /property:Configuration=Release
mkdir %Install_DIR%\ode
msbuild INSTALL.vcxproj /property:Configuration=Release
