Features#
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.
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: It reproduces OpenSeesPy functions, ensuring seamless integration for users familiar with the OpenSees ecosystem.
Performance Optimization: Built on the OpenSeesRT framework, Xara delivers substantial performance improvements over traditional interpreters.
