How to use Multibody.jl?

Specific Domains Modelling & Simulations
1

Hello all,
I am new to Julia, now on version 1.12.2 on Linux/Debian version 13.2.
Played around with it and with Dyad.
Now trying to use the Pendulum example from Multibody.jl
I can do add and then using ModelingToolkit, but adding Multibody fails. Same with JuliaSimCompiler.
The error is:

Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/DyadRegistry.toml`
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * Multibody (not found in project, manifest or registry)

What am I doing wrong?

Regards, Sietse

PS.
In Dyad, in Julia-Based Component Libraries there is mentioning of using Multibody.jl.
It says it could be used using " the external components definition".
But how?

Hello and welcome to the community :waving_hand:

Multibody.jl used to use an alternative model compiler, JuliaSimCompiler, but this compiler has been deprecated and is no longer functional. The work to make the standard ModelingToolkit compiler handle multibody systems is not yet complete and Multibody.jl is currently not installable or usable. I expect it to take a few months before it’s usable again.
