Compatibility

xara is largely compatible with both OpenSeesPy and the classic OpenSees Tcl interpreter.

Python

The xara package provides the opensees.openseespy module which is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the OpenSeesPy package. In order to execute an OpenSeesPy script with xara, just change the import from

import openseespy.opensees # OpenSeesPy import

to:

import opensees.openseespy # Backwards-compatible xara import

Tcl

To execute a classic OpenSees Tcl file using xara, run the following command from a terminal:

python -m opensees <file>

where <file> is a path to a Tcl file on your computer. To start an interactive Tcl interpreter using xara, run the following command from a terminal:

python -m opensees
