hey i found a command that can convert .urdf files to .model files for gazebo
rosrun gazebo urdf2model -f basic.urdf -o basic.model
but in my gazebo i m not able to spawn urdf files my gazebo always crashes
The final solution is your choice, but maybe you could describe more the problem to understand why spawning urdf files make gazebo crash. Urdf files should spawn as well as models, so maybe there is a bug to be reported or a wrong practice to correct. But that's your choice.
URDF models can be spawned in Gazebo according this tutorial.
You have to ensure that all required fields in urdf are present (visual but also collision, inertia ...) to be sure that you model will be displayed.

How to use openni_camera for turtlebot_gazebo world?
can i use a pr2 controller for my own urdf
thnks @Erwan R. it worked :-)
but there is only one problem whenever i set static="false" my object runs into a corner of my world
Not sure about it but static prevents objects to move (another point of view required). If set to false and your object is colliding another one, force effects will throw your object away.
