The ways you generally use a mesh in the robot world are:

  1. As a geometric representation of a link in a URDF.

  2. As a collision object that is published to the MoveIt Planning Scene.

  3. As an object that is spawned in Gazebo.

What are you trying to do, and what behavior do you expect? How are you attempting to visualize the object? Are any errors or warnings printed on the terminal?
