Environment

  • OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04
  • Build: Binary ROS2 Iron
  • Gazebo Version: Gazebo Classic 11

Description

  • Expected behavior: I want to apply force to an object in gazebo. I am calling "/apply_link_wrench" service through terminal. When I am setting duration in the command to -1(means apply force continuously), things are working fine but when i set it to a non-negative number like 2(means apply force for 2 seconds), the object is not moving at all.

  • Actual behavior: I expect the object to move for the amount of seconds specified in duration.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch gazebo through terminal using the following command:
    gazebo

  2. Next add a box using Gazebo GUI.

  3. Make sure "/apply_link_wrench" service is available by running:
    ros2 service list

  4. Then run the following command:
    ros2 service call /apply_link_wrench gazebo_msgs/srv/ApplyLinkWrench '{link_name: "unit_box::link", reference_frame: "", reference_point: { x: 100, y: 0, z: 0 }, wrench: { force: { x: 10, y: 0, z: 0 }, torque: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 } }, start_time: {sec: 0, nanosec: 0}, duration: {sec: 10, nanosec: 0} }'

Output

When running the commands above, the object is not moving.
