§ GetForceTorque()

virtual JointWrench GetForceTorque ( unsigned int _index )

virtualinherited

get internal force and torque values at a joint.

The force and torque values are returned in a JointWrench data structure.

Note that this sign convention is opposite of the reaction forces of the Joint on the Links.

FIXME TODO: change name of this function to something like: GetNegatedForceTorqueInLinkFrame and make GetForceTorque call return non-negated reaction forces in perspective Link frames.

Note that for ODE you must set <provide_feedback>true<provide_feedback> in the joint sdf to use this.
