-    Implementation of the System of Equations. Every ``equation`` passed to a
-    :class:`~pina.condition.condition.Condition` object must be either a

+    Implementation of the System of Equations, to be passed to a
+    :class:`~pina.condition.condition.Condition` object.
+
+    Unlike the :class:`~pina.equation.equation.Equation` class, which represents
+    a single equation, the :class:`SystemEquation` class allows multiple
+    equations to be grouped together into a system. This is particularly useful
+    when dealing with multi-component outputs or coupled physical models, where
+    the residual must be computed collectively across several constraints.
+
+    Each equation in the system must be either:
+    - An instance of :class:`~pina.equation.equation.Equation`;
+    - A callable function.
+
+    The residuals from each equation are computed independently and then
+    aggregated using an optional reduction strategy (e.g., ``mean``, ``sum``).
+    The resulting residual is returned as a single :class:`~pina.LabelTensor`.
+
+    :Example:
+
+    >>> from pina.equation import SystemEquation, FixedValue, FixedGradient
+    >>> from pina import LabelTensor
+    >>> import torch
+    >>> pts = LabelTensor(torch.rand(10, 2), labels=["x", "y"])
+    >>> pts.requires_grad = True
+    >>> output_ = torch.pow(pts, 2)
+    >>> output_.labels = ["u", "v"]
+    >>> system_equation = SystemEquation(
+    ...     [
+    ...         FixedValue(value=1.0, components=["u"]),
+    ...         FixedGradient(value=0.0, components=["v"],d=["y"]),
