Tutorials

A description of the software tools and general workflow used in crustal deformation modeling is available on the Pylith wiki.

Beginner Tutorials

Beginner tutorials for PyLith and CUBIT will not be offerred at the workshop. Beginner users should work through the extensive set of examples in the PyLith manual and online tutorial. A two hour online help session will be offered on June 7 to resolve any installation issues or answer questions not covered in the manual and online materials. At the workshop we will only briefly review basic information so that most of the tutorials can be devoted to intermediate and advanced topics.

Monday - Intermediate Tutorials

These tutorials will provide an introduction to Relax and discussion of intermediate PyLith/CUBIT topics. Prior to the workshop users should have installed the software and worked through the examples provided in the Relax and PyLith manuals.
