1.1.1 Main Package

The MechanicalSystems packages are loaded into Mathematica in the same manner as a standard Mathematica package; with a Get or Needs statement.

Loading the Mech packages.

This loads the Modeler2D package.

In[1]:=

It is not possible to have both Modeler2D and Modeler3D loaded simultaneously because they use many of the same function names with different definitions. Attempting to load Modeler3D while Modeler2D is already loaded results in Modeler2D being unloaded and replaced with Modeler3D - and vice versa.
The MechanicalSystems packages are not intended to be loaded twice. Thus, it is recommended that Needs be used to load the packages because Needs will not read the package if it has already been read. If Get is accidentally used to load one of the Mech packages after it has already been loaded, an error message is generated, and the Get operation is aborted.
