        <br>
        I'm looking to solve a sizable number of 2nd order ODE's in
        Kepler. Given the large number of equations I need to solve, I
        think using the standard 'expression / integrator' method may
        become too messy, so I was looking into using the Differential
        System actor to keep things tidy. The problem is I'm not sure
        how to correctly use the actor. I found the documentation to be
        confusing and could not find any tutorials for Kepler/Ptolemy
        II/Simulink to clarify. If someone could write a quick tutorial
        using a minimal example (maybe an undamped pendulum) or point me
        in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it! <br>
        <br>
        Aside: The ODE's are in reduced (1st order) form, so it is
        really just a matter of getting it into Kepler.<br>
        <br>
        <br>
        Cheers,<br>
