I updated the urdf file so that you can see the changes. Actually there are also some minor changes, however the important ones are about the "base" and "link_0" links. The problem is solved when I specify their inertial properties like mass and inertia.

2014-01-24 23:52:52 -0500 answered a question Problem at URDF to SDF conversion using gzsdf

I've already solved this problem. I think the problem was inertial elements which I didn't specify any for the base link and link_0. I didn't specify their inertial properties at first. However when I specify inertial elements like mass and inertia, I successfully converted the exact urdf model to sdf.

Here is the new urdf file that the problem is solved in;

2013-12-03 12:51:17 -0500 asked a question Problem at URDF to SDF conversion using gzsdf

I've already created an urdf called "robot_arm.urdf". I want to spawn that model on Gazebo. Before trying to spawn, I used "gzsdf" to see it as a sdf file. However, the result was unexpected. Despite my urdf model includes 7 links and 6 joints, the created sdf file shows just one link called "__ default __". The only right thing in the converted file is the name of the model.

Edit #1: I used ROS Hydro and Gazebo come with it. Also Ubuntu 13.04.

Here are the result when I enter "$ gzsdf print robot_arm.urdf":

> <sdf version='1.4'>        
>   <model name='robot_arm'>
>     <link name='__default__'>
>       <velocity_decay>
>         <linear>0</linear>
>         <angular>0</angular>
>       </velocity_decay>
>     </link>   
>   </model> 
> </sdf>

Here is my urdf file which is in ~/catkin_ws/src/testbot_description/robot_arm.urdf:
