2011-12-27 11:01:17 -0500 asked a question Simulating linked joints in Gazebo

I am trying to simulate some mechanically linked joints in gazebo. On the real robot the joints are connected with a chain so their positions and velocities are tied. Usually some of the connected joints are unloaded while others are loaded. Should I use a custom transmission here? If so how would I link the joints in the transmission? Is there a place I can find documentation regarding how the transmission is processed?

Thanks Brian

There's a https://code.ros.org/trac/ros-pkg/ticket/4740">ticket floating around regarding how to potentially resolve your issue.

Hello,

I can't seem to create STL files that gazebo will accept. I have tried exporting stl files from Autodesk Inventor 2012, Solidworks 2011 and Pro/Engineer wildfire 5.0. For testing purposes I have been exporting a simple rectangular prism and using the spinning top tutorial. If it is helpful I can upload the .stl files I was using. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance Brian
