Implementation

The proposed program structure has been successfully implemented. The C++ programming language has been chosen due to its implementation efficiency, portability, and availability. Originally, this tool has been intended to support material model development. Nevertheless, the developed tool is intensively used as computational tool, thanks to availability of implemented structural analysis module. This module covers usual linear and non-linear static and dynamic problem types. Large element and material libraries are provided, as well as an interface to a mesh generator and the possibility of graphical post-processing in X-windows. The attained computational efficiency is comparable to existing codes. Currently, effort is devoted to parallel processing support as well as to the development of new modules.
