Updating
~~~~~~~~

How to modify MBsysLab functions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All functions are defined in your *“MBS path”/MBsysLab/mbs-matlab/*
folder. Be aware that your modifications in the function could break
everything.

How to get and use development version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The development version of MBsysLab is maintened on our `gitlab
website <https://git.immc.ucl.ac.be/robotran/MBsyslab>`__. This project
is only accessible to logged users.

   **WARNING:**

   The development version is not stable, it could give wrong results.
   Moreover the project template (the user files…) could be different
   from the one provided by MBsysPad when you created your project. This
   can prevent the project from running.

After downloading and the development files, your can use them by adding
to Matlab the path to the development version:

.. code:: matlab

   mbspath = '/home/user/MBsysLab_DEV';

   addpath([mbspath '/mbs_animation']);
   addpath([mbspath '/mbs_desc']);
   addpath([mbspath '/mbs_modules']);
   addpath([mbspath '/mbs_utilities']);
