The preprocessor can parse an input file searching for Python code wrapped by `#beginpreprocess` and `#endpreprocess` tags, and processes it generating portions of the final input file. See the examples in [contrib/PythonPreprocessor/examples](contrib/PythonPreprocessor/examples).
After the 2024 GSoC project of [Shimul Baidya](@shimul.cse31), pre Preprocessor is now able to generate an entire MBDyn model using only Python code. This makes it suitable for integration in other software providing a Python API, to define a GUI-based method for MBDyn model generation. It also makes it easy to define higher-order preprocessing methods, like meshing flexible elements and automatically generating models for complex systems (for example, aeroelastic models of rotary-wing aircraft).

In this context, many possibilities for GSoC projects can be devised. A non-comprehensive list of ideas that can be taken alone or combined to form a GSoC project:
- Integration of the Preprocessor in [Blendyn](https://github.com/zanoni-mbdyn/blendyn), so that Blender can become a pre- and post-processor for MBDyn.
