Support exporting models to SDF (Simulation Description Format) #835

Open traversaro opened 3 years ago

traversaro commented 3 years ago

This is a sister issue of https://github.com/robotology/idyntree/issues/481, but tracking the export of SDF (i.e. iDynTree::Model ---> SDF file/string ) rather then the import (i.e. SDF file/string ---> iDynTree::Model).

Even if at the moment no one is interesting in working on this (hence the "Help Wanted" label) this feature could be convenient for users that have their own custom simulation engine for closed loop mechanical structure in high level languages, and may find convenient to export their model to SDF for interoperability with other tools. cc @FabioBergonti
