MechanicalSML is a programming language specifically designed for the development of mechanical engineering applications. Its core purpose is to bridge the gap between traditional mechanical design and computational analysis, enabling engineers to more effectively model, simulate, and optimize complex mechanical systems. The language provides a rich set of built-in data structures and functions tailored for common mechanical engineering tasks such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, kinematic simulations, and material property management.

One of the key features of MechanicalSML is its focus on geometric modeling and manipulation. It allows for the direct representation and modification of 3D CAD models within the programming environment. This integration facilitates the rapid prototyping and iteration of designs. Furthermore, MechanicalSML incorporates robust libraries for handling physical properties, constraints, and boundary conditions, which are essential for accurate simulations. The language aims to reduce the need for engineers to translate their designs and requirements into generic programming constructs, thereby improving efficiency and reducing the potential for errors. Its syntax is designed to be intuitive for those with a mechanical engineering background, abstracting away many low-level programming complexities. While not as widely adopted as general-purpose programming languages, MechanicalSML has found a niche in specialized engineering software and research environments.
