Isaac Sim Workstation#

NVIDIA Isaac Sim is a reference application built on NVIDIA Omniverse that enables developers to simulate and test AI-driven robotics solutions in physically based virtual environments.

Isaac Sim is fully extensible, meaning developers can build your own USD-based custom simulators or integrate core Isaac Sim technologies into existing testing and validation pipelines.

For more information and to get started, refer to the Isaac Sim documentation.

Important

The Isaac Sim software is located on the pre-configured workstation in the following locations:

  • Windows images: c:\IsaacSim

  • Linux images: /opt/IsaacSim

Prior to running Isaac Sim on Linux for the first time, these steps must be followed:

  1. Change the file/folder ownership permissions to the local user that was created during the deployment. (Example: sudo chown -R {$username}.root /opt/IsaacSim)

  2. From within the /opt/IsaacSim directory, run the following script to pre-warm the environment and build the local shader cache: ./warmup.sh (This may take 15 minutes or longer to complete.)

  3. Once the previous step is complete, start Isaac Sim by running the following command: ./isaac-sim.sh
