A2Plus & Animator macro: extremely slow

[bambuko]

About 44 seconds for full 360 deg rotation using Assembly3 without acceleration (.gif below has been created using single shots)

Using:

Code: Select all

Quad-Core Intel® Core™ i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX® 1650 SUPER
15.5 GiB memory
112.8 GB SSD

seems like assembly 3 solver has better performance since that model is more complex, would be nice to have a comparison of the same model but done on assembly 3.

Just to reiterate - gif is much faster than what's happening on my screen in real life
I will (when I have a minute) have a go at doing original model in Ass 3

Yes, but you said it takes 44s, my more powerful computer took as long on a much simpler model. If you don't mind sharing I'd like to test your model on my pc too (also, that looks like good splashcreen material )
Did you run the animation using rt branch or master?

that's why I posted here

...If you don't mind sharing I'd like to test your model on my pc too ...

sure - I will try to select something slightly simpler and easier to share and compare

...(also, that looks like good splashcreen material )

agree, but it may not appeal to wider audience, being a bit 19th century tech

...Did you run the animation using rt branch or master?

I only use RT Link branch for my everyday modelling

...I was experimenting with animating assemblies...

Just finished doing the original files in Assy 3
I make it something like under 8 seconds for full 360 deg

something I forgot to ask, how many frames do you use for the full turn? Can you share fcstd for this one?

I was attaching it while you were posting
.gif is crappy to squeeze into allowed attachment size

In the macro you have a step size of 10, the example used step size of 1, it's expected that it would be an order of magnitude faster like that. I'll check how it performs with stepsize 1 on my computer tonight, it might end up being comparable to A2+ then.

sorry didn't notice this.
on my PC changing the step to 1 deg (from 10 deg) increases the time for full 360 deg rotation to about 95 seconds,
but ... it is not "extremely slow" as per the title of this thread
It is actually nice and smooth
