I am writing a Gazebo World Plugin where I need an information about the position of certain model with respect to world origin. I am using Gazebo-9 and for this version of Gazebo I didn't find any working solution. Can anybody tell me how to achieve this?

// Get model
auto model = _world->ModelByName("model_name");
// Get pose
auto pose = model->WorldPose();

Checking the API documentation should help you in the future:

I couldn't find the WorldPose() method in Model.hh file on my machine, so I ended up using

 physics::ModelPtr model = this->world->ModelByName(model_name);
 physics::LinkPtr link = model->GetLink(link_name);
 ignition::math::Pose3d pose = link->WorldCoGPose();
 ignition::math::Vector3<double> position = pose.Pos();
 double pos[3] = {position.X(), position.Y(), position.Z() };

First, I forgot to include

 #include <gazebo/physics/physics.hh>

So that's why nothing seemed to work.

`Model::WorldPose` is new on Gazebo 8, if you're using an earlier version, you can use `Model::GetWorldPose`. Note that the CoG pose may be different from the model's origin.
