2015 PyLith Tutorial Agenda

August 24-25, 2015

The tutorial will focus on helping users become more familiar with using PyLith in combination with CUBIT/Trelis and Paraview for crustal deformation modeling. We expect that users will have become familiar with PyLith, CUBIT/Trelis, and ParaView from viewing the other tutorials and/or attending previous workshops. Users are expected to have at least read the PyLith manual and run some of the examples.

Instructors: Brad Aagaard, Charles Williams, Matthew Knepley
