For installation of ns3, you may refer this link: http://www.nsnam.com/2014/08/ns3-installation-in-linux-mint-17.html
For another Animation NetAnim installation, follow this link: http://www.nsnam.com/2014/08/installing-netanim-software-for-ns3-in.html

Steps to install PyViz (visualizer)
1. Open the termina and execute the command one by one
pradeep@localhost $] sudo apt-get install python-dev python-kiwi python-pygoocanvas python-pygraphviz
pradeep@localhost $]  sudo apt-get install python-gnome2 python-gnomedesktop python-rsvg
Once installed, go to the ns-allinone-3.20 folder and execute this command 
pradeep@localhost $] cd ns-allinone-3.20
pradeep@localhost $] ./build.py --enable-examples --enable-tests

Thus "visualize" is installed successfully.
the general command to run the visualize is 
./waf --run myprogram --vis 
or
./waf --run myprogram --visualize

To see the output in the visualizer, here is the step
pradeep@localhost $] cd ns-allinone-3.20/ns-3.20
pradeep@localhost $] ./waf --run examples/tutorial/third --vis 
or 
pradeep@localhost $] ./waf --run examples/tutorial/third --visualize 
Here is the screenshot of the visualize.

Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the ...
