We designed 4 Dof robotic arm using solid works.We converted Solid works file into urdf file using sw2urdf exporter.Later we created moveit package. Now we will get target interms of Cartesian coordinates, the end effector should reach the target position. Can we able to do that using KDL or any other packages?

If I understand you correctly, you want to plan towards Pose goals. I would suggest you work through the Moveit! tutorials to learn how to use it. Other options are available as well but I think MoveIt! is probably a good place to get started.

Good luck!

As mentioned in this answer and the links given in it, KDL will work well for DOF more than 5. Since you have a 4 DOF arm, you can try to create an IKFast plugin following this tutorial. It seems that IKFast will suit your application better.
