Hi,

I inserted a sonar sensor in a sdf file to mimic the ultrasonic range sensors. The file can be found here on PasteBin.

I have found out that if I comment the <sensor> </sensor> block, no error is thrown, else the following error is thrown every time any force is applied on it.

Exception [msgs.cc:448] Invalid geometry element

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gazebo::common::Exception'

Any suggestions? And yes the sensor type is sonar but I am not getting sonar related data in any other way, except by making the sensor type sonar

I use Gazebo v2.2, sdf v1.4 on Ubuntu 12.04

I was able to load that model with no problems. How do you generate the exception? If it involves a plugin, please include the code for the plugin.

Hi, sorry for not including the following information: To reproduce the error, simply include the model into another model by using the meta-tag of <include>. It has worked for me, so far.
