| Getting Started - Examples & Demos | |||
Run the 2 tutorials above to figure out the general layout of SimulationX and to understand how the MBS works. MBS is the most generic electro-mechanical simulation toolbox available. You can combine masses, springs, dampers, joints, motors, gears, and more, in pretty much any way. You can also interface it with Simulink to develop a controller for the mechanical system that is being simulated. |

| Frequently Asked Questions | |||
| Question | The software complains that that there are blocks missing when I try to open a file. | ||
| Answer | You may notice that the list of available libraries (left side of screen) is short. This means that you didn't enable all the licenses. File/Options/Licensing/Show dialog for module selection on startup |
