Draft Workshop Agenda 

Agenda for June 25-29 Workshop on Community Finite Element Models for Fault Systems and Tectonic Studies.

Please send suggested revisions to Brad Aagaard.

Location: Student Center Ballrooms A and B(2nd floor)

Monday, STUDENT CENTER BALLROOMS A AND B

9:00am - 5:00pm
Tinker time

Dedicated time for installing software, including GeoFest, PyLith, LaGriT, etc. Code developers will be on hand to help you install these codes on your laptop. This is also a good time to try running example problems or benchmarks that are distributed with respective codes. This is also an opportunity for informal collaboration.

9:30am - 10:30am
Session I: PyLith, Brad Aagaard and Charles Williams
10:30am - 11:30am
Session II: GeoFEST, Greg Lyzenga and Jay Parker
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Session IV: LaGriT, Carl Gable
2:30pm - 4:00pm
Session III: CUBIT, Steve Owen and Emanuele Casarotti

FOR THOSE INSTALLING SOFTWARE:

  • PyLith

    Binaries will be provided for Linux, OSX, and Windows (using Cygwin) operating systems.

  • Gale

    Binaries will be provided for Linux, OS X, and Windows operating systems.

  • GeoFEST

    Please begin the licensing process in advance of the meeting by visiting this URL:http://www.openchannelfoundation.org/projects/GeoFEST. Select the "Get GeoFEST" link and the rest of the procedure should be self-explanatory.

    Once you login, order one of everything (it's easier to get everything than to get back in), but be sure to order at least the 4th and 7th items, which are (4) GeoFEST User's Guide and (7) Version 4.5 of GeoFEST code (best for beginners; the first item, 4.5g, is not the best place to start).

  • CUBIT

    Demo versions of Cubit will be available for Linux, Windows and Mac. The demo version will only run for a few weeks. To obtain a full license ($300) go to http://cubit.sandia.gov and complete the license procedure (which can take several months).

  • LaGriT

    Demo versions of LaGriT will be available for Linux, Mac, SunOS. If you wish to download a non-demo version, go to http://lagrit.lanl.gov and complete the license procedures.

  • LaGriT Additional Information
