Hello Boon,

I realized I perhaps misunderstood you question below, and was a bit 
rude. If what you want is to try running MMA as it is, you just have to 
put the engine in the a simulation.
At that point, you are not only "started", you are "done". :)

What I meant was : you can't do more than putting the engine and getting 
txt files containing different statistics of contacts, forces, ... where 
most of the results will be meaningless if you don't know what you are 
looking for.
You can see triangulation code as a geometry toolbox, and MMA as one 
usage of this toolbox.
If you have precise needs, I can explain how to use the current 
triangulation code for it; giving a general introduction is more difficult.
