Gale — by admin — last modified 2008-01-15 12:07 PM

Gale is a 2D/3D parallel code for the long-term tectonics community. The code solves problems in orogenesis, rifting, and subduction with a variety of boundary conditions, including free surfaces with coupling to surface erosion models.

Plasti — by admin — last modified 2008-01-15 12:08 PM

Plasti is a 2-D ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) code donated to CIG by Sean Willett and Chris Fuller of the University of Washington that originated at Dalhousie University in Canada.

SNAC — by Sue Kientz — last modified 2008-12-15 04:43 PM

SNAC (StGermaiN Analysis of Continua) is an updated Lagrangian explicit finite difference code for modeling a finitely deforming elasto-visco-plastic solid in 3D, released under the GNU General Public License.
