Support DART soft body simulation via soft_contact
#222
Comments
I am not an authority on this, but I believe we have not added soft bodies to Ignition. I'm not aware of existing plans to add it. Not sure about the Gazebo-classic front. Are you asking about Ignition or Gazebo though? In your third paragraph, you linked to SDF parsing in ign-physics, but you also linked to the Gazebo-classic parser. ign-physics is used for Ignition, Gazebo-classic (osrf/gazebo) isn't using that. |
Hi Mabel. Thanks for your response. I am asking about Ignition, but in the context of trying to find an alternative to Gazebo-classic because that doesn't seem to have properly working soft body support. |
Not to dash hopes or anything, but looks like there's a thread here regarding Gazebo-classic gazebosim/gazebo-classic#1422 I've never tried it, so I can't say for sure what the status is. |
Yeah seems like the answer is no. Well thanks for the help, and please consider adding support for softbody contact in Ignition if the topic comes up. I believe this is better supported in Bullet than DART, if that is every integrated with |
On a related note, we have active effort to add Bullet support to |
Reopening as a feature request. There's nothing preventing adding support for soft contacts in the future, someone just needs to put some time into it. |

?soft_contact
For awareness: Just an idea for whoever that picks up the implementation. It’s probably the route we’d take if we were to do it, though we don’t have immediate plans. |
Users of Gazebo have reported that the DART

Element on surfaces doesn't seem to work, see gazebosim/gazebo-classic#2255.I am trying to evaluate

to determine if this element is supported in Ignition, is it?It seems that SDF model parsing is happening in this file, but I don't see anything that resembles the creation of dart

objects happening in the (seemingly correct but apparently non-functional) Gazebo parser. So I am guessing the answer is no. If so, is support for this on the Ignition roadmap?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
