Hi, I'm writing a paper and using gazebo 7 to simulate a quadrotor. One of the reviewers asked for clarification on how the wind simulation happens. Does it simply add a number (proportional to the wind velocity) to the robot's current velocity value? does it use force?
Maybe this question regards the inner workings of the physics engine and I should ask it somewhere else. I don't know.
Anyway, thank you very much!
Hello, here's the initial pull request where the wind was implemented:
https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo/pul... https://osrf-migration.github.io/gaze...
There's some code to parse SDF, tests, etc. but the relevant part for your question is in WindPlugin.cc . You'll notice that a call to AddRelativeForce() is applied to all the links of the model that are affected by the wind.
