This document presents the user manual for MERCURY Optimized Software for (Single Site) Hybrid Simulation. The software provides an optimized solution for transitioning from pseudo dynamics to real-time hybrid simulation.
This manual describes the input data structure, commands, and workflow for the Mercury Optimized Software used in single‑site hybrid simulation. It covers both the MATLAB version and the C++ version, explaining how to define units, geometry, elements, materials, loads, and analysis settings.
The document provides detailed syntax for blocks such as Control, Geometry, Element, Material, Force, and Output, as well as solver options and integration methods for static and transient analyses. Example commands and parameter formats are given for each block.

Units are declared with the Unit command, e.g., Unit = ['F','L'] where F is force and L is length (e.g., kN, mm).
