Overview
Description: Simulation state reset, copying, and management operations for controlling the lifecycle of simulation data.
Context: MuJoCo separates the model definition (mjModel) from the simulation state (mjData). State management functions allow users to reset the simulation to its initial state, copy states between mjData instances, and selectively reset portions of the state for fine-grained control over simulation workflows.
Theoretical Basis
State management follows the principle of separating persistent model data from mutable simulation state. The mjData structure contains all time-varying quantities: positions, velocities, forces, contacts, and internal buffers. Reset operations restore these to default values derived from the model definition while preserving the allocated memory. State copying enables parallel simulation, rollout-based planning, and checkpointing. Selective reset allows resetting controls, warm-start data, or specific state components without disturbing others, which is essential for model-predictive control and trajectory optimization workflows.
