Detailed Description
This feature retrieves a model proxy of a world so that model APIs can be used on the world, e.g., to access a world joint.
Entities such as joints are only available in a Model. To support world joints, instead of creating a new type of entity, we have chosen to implement a scheme where the world behaves like a model via this feature. Given a world, w, we can do model = w->GetWorldModel() to get the model proxy. We can then use any of the APIs supported by the features available in the physics engine, e.g., model->GetJoint("j1"). where "j1" is a joint directly under <world> in the SDFormat.
Note: Certain features available on models, such as RemoveModelFromWorld, ConstructEmptyLink, and ConstructSdfLink are not valid on the model proxy. Physics engine plugin implementers should ensure that calls to APIs from these features fail gracefully.
