Features

A strong feature of xara is its backwards compatibility with OpenSeesPy and Tcl scripts. This compatibility is described in Compatibility. ..

Xara offers several advanced features that make it a powerful tool for nonlinear finite element analysis: - Mixed Formulations: It supports mixed formulations for beams and solids, enabling accurate modeling of complex structural systems. - Extensive Material Models: With over 200 material models, Xara provides flexibility for simulating various materials and their nonlinear behaviors. - Performance Optimization: Built on the OpenSeesRT framework, Xara delivers substantial performance improvements over traditional interpreters. - Continuation Algorithms: These algorithms are designed to solve highly nonlinear problems efficiently, making Xara suitable for challenging engineering scenarios. - Stateless Modeling: Xara introduces a Model class for true stateless modeling, allowing users to work without relying on a single global program state. - Compatibility Layer <CompatibilityLayer>: Although xara in includes a completely rewritten interpreter architecture, compatibility layers allow legacy OpenSeesPy and Tcl scripts to run with minimal modifications.
