How to simulate SDF model with ROS and CoppeliaSim
How to simulate SDF model with ROS and CoppeliaSim
Hi ROS developers, I have a question. I made a Delta robot (Parallel robot) for my school project. Because delta is a closed kinematics chain I made an SDF model for simulation. I can not find a way to simulate my ROS code on the SDF model. I tried to use Gazebo but that is not working. I know for ros_coppelia_bridge, is it possible to use it with SDF? My question is, how to simulate SDF? If you know another simulator, something I can use, please help!

Hello,
you can import URDF and SDF format in CoppeliaSim, but compatibility is limited, since those are not native CoppeliaSim files.
But you can conveniently simulate all types of parallel kinematics robots in CoppeliaSim. Using CoppeliaSim's kinematics routines, or via ROS and external, third-party libraries. But don't expect a simulation scene created with simulation package 1 to work seamlessly with simulation package 2, and vice-versa.
Cheers
