how to get info from topic ~/physics/contacts from the world file
Hey
I created a world file that includes three blocks. I want to know the contact normals between them so I subscribed to ~/physics/contacts topic. On the start when I start the gazebo and echo the topic the topic doesn't show any contacts (publish empty messages) although I can see the blocks. the topic start publishing contact normals after I move the blocks or add another one.
Does somebody know why is that happening and how I can fix that?
Thanks in advance

ODE will cause objects to auto-disable when they are not moving for a certain period of time. Auto-disable can be turned off with by setting the allow_auto_disable
tag to 0 (see friction_demo.world for an example).
