On-Demand Libraries

Optionally install on-demand libraries through the Extension Manager.

The Compose installation provides on-demand, special-purpose libraries that expand the OML capabilities of the core libraries. You can conveniently pre-load the on-demand libraries in a given session, and enable them only as needed.

Note that when using the Extension Manager as a library loader, commands in use through the loader.oml and unload.oml files may affect the behavior of the Extension Manager.

Install a Library in the Extension Manager

Select File > Extension Manager.
The available libraries are listed with their corresponding extensions.
On the library you want to install, slide the install button to the right .
The library automatically becomes available in the Library Browser. For example, if you install the Multibody Processing library, you will see it displayed with the core libraries.

Uninstall a Library in the Extension Manager

Select File > Extension Manager.
The available libraries are listed with their corresponding extensions.
On the library you want to uninstall, slide the install button to the left .
Note that a native Compose library, such as MultibodyProcessing, is uninstalled, but not removed from your system. Even if you click the Remove button, the library is removed for your current session only and remains on your system should you wish to re-install it later in a new session.

Using the librarymanager Function

When using the librarymanager function to install or uninstall a native, on-demand library, the library status (installed or uninstalled) that you define wih the function is automatically reflected in the Extension Manager.
