Welcome to the Mechanical Objects Reference. This reference provides a specification for every Mechanical object in the tree. Each object is represented in either its own reference page, or is combined with similar objects and represented on one group reference page. For example, the Joint object is represented on its own Joint object reference page, whereas the Acceleration object is represented on the Loads and Supports (Group) object reference page. All pages representing groups of objects include "(Group)" as part of the page's title.

The objects reference is not intended to be your primary source of procedural information for performing simulations -- see the Steps for Using the Application section for introductory and procedural guidelines concerning when and where to use Mechanical objects.
