Is it possible to add multiple objects with c++ api in gazebo? I have used methods given in this tutorial for adding models from a sdf file. But if the sdf file contains more than one model, it is only adding the first model. Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to add multiple models from the sdf file. Thank you

An SDF model file may only contain one model, thus why only the first model is being loaded. You can:

Put each model in its own SDF file and load each file separately
Create a .world file that contains all your models
Create a nested SDF file as seen in this tutorial: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ne...

Thanks for your reply, but actually the entire sdf file is provided by some user and I have to insert those models at runtime. Can you suggest me how to insert multiple models at runtime?

You can add models at run time using two different methods(The ones I know off):

In terminal, using(where model_0 is the name of your model):
gz model -m model_0 -f path_to_model.sdf
Through python using rosservices as outlined in this answer https://answers.gazebosim.org//questi...
Method 2 can be replicated in C++
