X-ray free-electron lasers enable a range of new experimental investigations into the properties of matter driven to extreme conditions via intense x-ray-matter interaction. The proposed numerical method enables a quantitative investigation of transient high-energy-density plasmas driven by XFELs in femtosecond timescales even when both electrons and ions are far from local thermodynamic equilibrium.
