Unable to visualize demo_FEA_contacts.py in pychrono (black screen only with pychrono logo) #275

Hello, when trying to run the aforementioned demo, I just see a black screen with the Pychrono logo, could anybody please help? Thanks in advance!

Hi, sounds odd, it works fine for me. It might be a data path error. Make sure you are launching it in its own directory. Like

cd C:\Users\your_name\Anaconda3\envs\some_env\Lib\site-packages\pychrono\demos\fea
python demo_FEA_contacts.py

Thanks I rechecked the path but nevertheless still see this: Most other demos in teh same folder, for e.g. cables or load_dynamic seem to be working fine.
