Parents EngineeringComponent A fundamental concept that applies in many engineering domains. An EngineeringComponent is an element of a Device that is a physically whole object, such as one might see listed as standard parts in a catalog. The main difference betweeen EngineeringComponents and arbitrary globs of matter is that EngineeringComponents are object-like in a modeling sense. Thus, an EngineeringComponent is not an arbtrary subregion, but a part of a system with a stable identity.
  MechanicalJoint A Device that links two parts of a PhysicalSystem and allows them to move in relation to one another. Examples include Hinges, drawer slides and BallJoints.
