getCoG() returns (0, 0, 0)

Hi

I am trying to find center of mass by doing the following

std::cout << this->model->GetLink("leg1")->GetInertial()->GetCoG() << std::endl;

but I only get 0,0,0. Is there any reason why it's happening? Maybe the reference frame is the link it self, instead of the world frame?

Correct, the center of mass is expressed with respect to the link, and the link pose with respect to the parent model.
