Known Issues

  • When you run an IDE such as spyder sometimes the website blocks. In

order to avoid that, modify the ‘Run Setting’ and choose ‘Execute in external System Terminal’.

  • When the simulation blocks, there is probably a simulation.finalize() command

missing after the simulation loop
