FlexSim in Virtual Reality for HMDs, SteamVR, OpenXR, Powerwall, and CAVE
This quick guide shows the necessary configuration steps to bridge FlexSim into Virtual Reality Head Mounted Displays, compatible to SteamVR or OpenXR, like: Meta Quest 1, 2 & 3, HTC Vive (Pro2), Varjo, Pico and Windows Mixed Reality HMDs. The guide also applies for bridging FlexSim for Powerwalls, 3D stereo projectors, CAVE and DOME.
Guide to bridge FlexSim into Virtual Reality:
- Start the moreViz Launcher
- Notice the moreViz-Tray icon (next to system time) and right-click it, select “moreViz Application Enabler”
- Click “Locate known Apps”. The more3D application enabler will search the standard program files folders for known FlexSim installations and add them to the list.
- If your FlexSim is installed to a non standard directory, please click “Add”, locate the “flexsim.exe” file. The standard path is:
“X:\Program Files\FlexSim 2023 Update 2\program\”
- Click the Enable button right next to the newly created entry.
- Close the Application Enabler.
- Start the moreViz Client.
- Start FlexSim and load a 3D model.
Quick Tipps:
-
For best loading / animation performance set the “Connection Type” to “Shared Memory” in the moreViz Launcher’s Connection Settings (only available for single-client setups, e.g. HMD or ASD on the local computer).
-
For best visual impression, set “AntiAliasing” to 4x (or higher) in the moreViz Launcher’s Client Settings
-
