====== 2017 Crustal Deformation Modeling Tutorial ======
===== June 26-30, 2017 =====


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


----


==== Getting Started ====

  - Download PyLith v2.2.1rc1 from [[https://github.com/geodynamics/pylith/releases]]
  - Create a play area to modify the examples

    cd PATH_TO_PYLITH_DIR
    mkdir playpen
    cp -r src/pylith-2.2.1rc1/examples playpen/
