Tips & Tricks

Optimizing In-Session IC.IDO performance (long form)

IC.IDO performance can vary from workstation to workstation, based on their hardware configuration. Some attributes of an IC.IDO session can be adjusted and optimized to improve performance during session use.

Collisions initial collision conditions in IC.IDO (long form)

Initial collision conditions in an IC.IDO session can derail virtual assembly and service reviews by "breaking" physics conditions before you even start. In this video training, Jose will guide you through understanding initial collision conditions in IC.IDO.

Loading and Importing Geometry into IC.IDO sessions (long form)

Import or Open geometry assets when adding 3D objects to an IC.IDO Virtual Review session

Collisions- Detection, Handling, Solid Mechanics Workflow (long form)

Video example of the complete workflow to define interactions needed to validate the assembly/installation/removal of a component using Solid Mechanics for Rigid Bodies in IC.IDO

Collaborate in IC.IDO w/ remote sites, no IDO.Cooperate

Conducting and sharing an review of new assembly or service processes for new products and associated working environments when not all participants have ability or desire to join via IC.IDO.Cooperate funtionality. Such as screen sharing with web meeting tools like MS Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, or Webex.

How to avoid Self-Collision of Elastic1D objects

This article describes how to enable the check for self-collision of elastic1d objects in IC.IDO 13.1, and to avoid such self-penetration.

Running IC.IDO on a 4K monitor (Admin)

When running IC.IDO on a high DPI / 4K monitor, the Desktop UI layout looks "broken" and parts are unreadable. Since Windows 10 version 1803, there is a setting that helps to get the IC.IDO Desktop UI being displayed properly.

SteamVR Binding errors when using HTC Vive Tracker (ADMINISTRATOR)

Recent Vive Tracker Changes: Latest SteamVR Updates in October 2018 have changed the default behavior for Vive Trackers, and it is causing some confusion. We want to explain how to mitigate the setup for using Vive Tracker with IC.IDO.

New Physics Solver "ICA Stiff Solver" (USER)

IC.IDO 12.1 introduces the next generation of physics solver. The new solver focuses on improvements of performance and stability in general, but also puts focus on Elastic1D-Elastic1D and Elastic1D-Rigid contact situations resulting in improved collision handling and more realistic deformation of the Elastic1D shape. The new Physics Solver ‘ICA Stiff Solver’ is the new default solver in 12.1. This article explains about the main differences and improvements compared to the earlier solver, and gives hints for how to work with the new solver for achieving best user experience.

Tips for Immersive Workspace Parameters (USER)

This is a description of several parameters of the Immersive Workspace module within IC.IDO. This document helps you to understand the different parameters in order to set up your immersive environment for your needs.
