5959As you can see, generating an ODESystem is as simple as creating an array of equations
6060and passing it to the ` ODESystem ` constructor.

62- ## Understanding the Difference Between the Julia Variable and the Symbolic Variable
63-
64- In the most basic usage of ModelingToolkit and Symbolics, the name of the Julia variable
65- and the symbolic variable are the same. For example, when we do:
66-
67- ``` @example scripting
68- @variables a
69- ```
70-
71- the name of the symbolic variable is ` a ` and same with the Julia variable. However, we can
72- de-couple these by setting ` a ` to a new symbolic variable, for example:
73-
74- ``` @example scripting
75- b = only(@variables(a))
76- ```
77-
78- Now the Julia variable ` b ` refers to the variable named ` a ` . However, the downside of this current
79- approach is that it requires that the user writing the script knows the name ` a ` that they want to
80- place to the variable. But what if for example we needed to get the variable's name from a file?
81-
82- To do this, one can interpolate a symbol into the ` @variables ` macro using ` $ ` . For example:
83-
84- ``` @example scripting
85- a = :c
86- b = only(@variables($a))
87- ```
88-
89- In this example, ` @variables($a) ` created a variable named ` c ` , and set this variable to ` b ` .
90-
91- Variables are not the only thing with names. For example, when you build a system, it knows its name
92- that name is used in the namespacing. In the standard usage, again the Julia variable and the
93- symbolic name are made the same via:
94-
95- ``` @example scripting
96- @named fol_model = ODESystem(eqs, t)
97- ```
98-
99- However, one can decouple these two properties by noting that ` @named ` is simply shorthand for the
100- following:
62+ ` @named ` automatically gives a name to the ` ODESystem ` , and is shorthand for

103- fol_model = ODESystem(eqs, t; name = :fol_model)
65+ fol_model = ODESystem(eqs, t; name = :fol_model) # @named fol_model = ODESystem(eqs, t)
