I have an urdf for a small vehicle robot and I have been experimenting with the URDF importer and have noticed that if I don’t have the Merge Fixed Joints box checked then when I start simulating the model disappears. I have attached a gif of me starting the simulation where one of the models in the world had the Merge Fixed Joints box checked and the other didn’t.
Also here is a tar containing the URDF and meshes,
