                                                    Jeff,
One of my lab mates was concerned that the model wouldn't be able to execute a single body problem.  This is an explicit explanation of the model so you can better answer my question.  My model is a pulley with a chord wrapped around it.  At each end of the chord it's attached to the center of a rectangular cross section.  Each rectangular cross section is attached to a another chord at the ends in the opposite direction to the chord wrapping around the pulley (similar to a seesaw mechanism).  The pulley needs to be able to move translationally (bulk movement of the model) , the chord around the pulley needs to move rotationally, and the seesaw mechanisms need to move rotationally.  Would the package still be able to execute the model?  
Thanks,
Bruce
