Have you checked out the wiki/urdf/Tutorials? The Learning URDF Step by Step tutorials should give you something to start with.

Note that URDF cannot model parallel robots, so you'll either have to ignore that link (ie: not model it), or use a mimic joint for it.

Thanks for your answer. But what does the "mimic joint" mean? what should i do to finish this work?
