Does anyone know how to convert solidworks model of a robot to collada(.dae) files and keep the kinematic joints and chain?!
Google knows. :)
There are apparently numerous routes, the most commonly mentioned one being to export to STL and then convert from STL to Collada.
If your goal is to get the model into rviz or Gazebo, then you can also use the STL file directly.
I know this method. I should correct my question. I need to convert a robot from solidworks to collada and keep the structure and kinematic joints and chain. STL removes the chain and joints. Is there any other way?!
I'm not aware of any plugins for SolidWorks that support Collada kinematics. Unfortunately.
You might want to look in some of the plugins for SolidWorks and some Autodesk products that export directly to urdf/xacro.
