PlantSimulationLab / Helios

The Helios simulation system is a versatile modeling framework that handles tasks such as managing geometry and associated data structures through a C++ API. Plug-ins build off of the Helios core engine, and access the geometry and data via the Helios context. The sytem comes with a visualization plug-in that can produce stunning renderings of model geometry and data with relatively little effort.

Optix library #37

Closed UQ-Raja-Ram-Aryal closed 7 months ago

UQ-Raja-Ram-Aryal commented 7 months ago

I am using Helios using WSL environment in VS Code. I am getting error in using radiation plugin.

(base) uqrarya1@SENV-FT8YRQ3:~/Helios/samples/radiation_selftest/build$ /home/uqrarya1/Helios/samples/radiation_selftest/build/radiation_selftest OptiX Error: Failed to load OptiX library (/home/uqrarya1/Helios/plugins/radiation/src/RadiationModel.cpp:1114)

How I can access Optix library ?

Thank you for the insight on this. We have less experience running Helios using WSL, so there are probably some issues we are unaware of. It looks like the issue is that WSL drivers are not packaged with OpTiX be default, so you have to install OpTiX separately and make a few modifications. I can add this to the Helios documentation.
