I have created a contact sensor plug-in for gazebo as explained by the tutorials on the gazebo site. What I don't understand is how to access the data it collects. I would like to read the force data and put it into a text file to do some analysis on but I do not know how to access it. Any help?

I am using ubuntu indigo 14.04 and gazebo 4.04

Maybe this version of ContactPlugin code will be helpful here. There is a line in there that shows how to print out normal force data.

So i took a look at the ContacPlugin code and I see where it is supposed to be outputing the data but I again cannot find where it is going. I have tried opening a text file and outputing the data to the text file but it doesnt work and doesnt create a text file. Any ideas?

it prints to the console. You can modify it to output to file using std::ofstream.
