Avoid rendering simulation to increase performances

Hello,

I am developing a plugin using the .NET API. My application needs to run multiple simulations to gather results. However, the simulation speed is limited by the animation that occurs during execution. To speed up the process, I would like to disable simulation rendering.

I found the IsAnimating property in the .NET API documentation, which, according to the description, should control whether the 3D scene is rendered during the simulation. However, even when I set this value to false, the simulation is still rendered.

Does anyone know why this might not be working or have alternative solutions to disable simulation rendering?

Thank you for your help.

Disabling rendering likely won’t improve the speed that much. When running at max speed, the view is rendered only once per (real time) second. For example, if your rendering takes maybe 20 milliseconds, then completely disabling that would only give you 20 / 1000 * 100% = 2% speed up.
