An update to my above comment about the UR Gazebo Classic simulation. The issue there was related to the ODE parameter fmax, see

https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ROS2_Gazebo_Simulation/issues/19#issuecomment-1481929619

and more detail here:

https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ROS2_Description/pull/55

Still don't exactly know how it should be fixed formally, but there is a workaround if you modify the ur_description package to add friction to the joint <dynamics> tags in the URDF.

This friction parameter passes through to the ODE physics engine and sets fmax, and then the UR Gazebo simulation works.

I also did seem to get a working UR Ignition simulation on ROS Rolling natively installed on Ubuntu Jammy, but I didn't dig much into whether everything was working.
