[SOLVED] How to close the runSofa window/reinitialize it in python?

Hi,

How I can close the runSofa window by a python code? How I can reinitialize it by a python code?

Thanks,

Hi @Zahra

This is sadly a recurring issue with SOFA:
As of today, a simulation ran in the runSofa GUI can only be stopped or killed programatically (by using node.getRootContext().animate = False or by for instance calling quit() in the script to end the program.
There is no way to get from the “paused” state to the “animate” state of the simulation without performing keyboard / mouse interaction.
As I suggested In THIS post, you can hack around by faking mouse or keyboard events.
Although it is quite ugly to do such a thing, the runSofa UI wasn’t designed for this kind of tasks.

Whichever way you go, good luck with SOFA!

Hi @Bruno Marques,

Thank you for your reply. I read the related post. At least now I know this is not possible with the current GUI and I should make some kind of hacking.

Best,
