# Overview

Our user-defined material models framework is built on a C++ architecture, making it easy for users to develop their own custom material models. The framework provides a seamless interface for implementing materials behavior that is thoroughly integrated into the software.

Our framework also incorporates a GPU-accelerated implementation that leverages Nvidia’s CUDA architecture. By offloading computationally intensive material model to the GPU, users can achieve substantial speedups over traditional CPU-based implementations. Our CUDA interface is easy to use and enables users to simulate complex material behavior at unprecedented scales and speeds.
