2016 PyLith Tutorial Agenda
June 17-19, 2016
This tutorial will focus on providing training in the use of the CIG PyLith software for quasi-static modeling of crustal deformation, with an emphasis on interseismic, coseismic, and postseismic deformation. The training will also include instruction in CUBIT/Trelis for creating finite-element meshes as input for PyLith and visualizing PyLith output using Paraview.
Instructors: Brad Aagaard, Charles Williams, Matthew Knepley
