I see your point. Also somehow I'm also inclined towards QMBody ... :)
And historically we had FEMBody, not FiniteElementBody, I wonder why?

Don't worry it will work :) If not - I'll fix it ;)


Also - Bruno, Francois, I think that your ChainedCylinder which uses
variable Body->chain should also use its own type of Body, for
the purpose of adding this `chain` attribute. Maybe call it
DEMChainedBody ?

I'm not hurrying towards all these changes. We have plenty of time
so we can discuss :)

best regards
