PyLith 1.8.0 released (Brad Aagaard)<br><br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Message: 1<br>Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:26:26 -0700<br>From: Brad Aagaard <baagaard@usgs.gov><br>Subject: [CIG-SHORT] PyLith 1.8.0 released<br>To: cig-short@geodynamics.org,<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>cig-all@geodynamics.org<br>Message-ID: <50897642.8010906@usgs.gov><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed<br><br>Greetings,<br><br>I am pleased to announce the release of PyLith 1.8.0, a finite-element<br>code designed to solve dynamic elastic problems and quasi-static<br>viscoelastic problems in tectonic deformation.<br><br>This release adds estimating the stable time step for explicit time<br>stepping, adds a post-processing utility for computing the moment<br>magnitude and average slip for any fault output snapshot, includes a<br>couple of additional examples of CUBIT meshing techniques, fixes<br>several bugs in PyLith v1.7.1 and corrects some typos in the<br>manual. We strongly recommend all users of previous PyLith releases<br>switch to this latest release.<br><br>You can download the source code and binaries from<br><br> http://geodynamics.org/cig/software/packages/short/pylith<br><br>Detailed installation instructions for the binary packages are in the<br>User Manual with detailed building instructions for a few platforms in<br>the INSTALL file bundled with the PyLith Installer utility.<br><br><br>RELEASE NOTES - PyLith v1.8.0<br><br>****************************************************************<br>See the README file for changes required to switch to the v1.8.0 release <br>series from previous versions.<br>****************************************************************<br><br>* New features<br><br> * Additional flexibility in PETSc nonlinear solver parameters<br><br> The default line search type for the PETSc nonlinear (SNES) solver<br> is a customized backtrace method included in PyLith. The user may<br> now select alternative line search types (basic, bt, l2, cp)<br> available in PETSc.<br><br> * Post-processing utility pylith_eqinfo to compute slip information.<br><br> This post-processing utility computes the moment magnitude,<br> seismic moment, seismic potency, and average slip at<br> user-specified snapshots in time from PyLith HDF5 output.<br> Information is given for each fault and across all faults. See<br> the Post-processing section of the manual in the Running PyLith<br> chapter for more information.<br><br> * Computation of the stable time step for explicit time-stepping.<br><br> The stable time step for explicit time-stepping is computed based<br> on the CFL condition and minimum edge lengths. For triangular and<br> tetrahedral cells we also account for a reduction in the stable<br> time step due to distorted cells (e.g., slivers and needles). See<br> the Stable time step section in the Materials chapter of the<br> manual for more information.<br><br> * Output the stable time step for each cell in a material.<br><br> Output cell_info_fields "stable_dt_implicit" and<br> "stable_dt_explicit" can be included in material output.<br><br> * Added netCDF Python module to binary distribution to provide<br> Python interface to NetCDF files, including Exodus-II files. This<br> is used in a new meshing example for setting the discretization<br> size using an Exodus-II vertex field. Note that this required<br> updating the NetCDF library.<br><br> * New CUBIT meshing examples demonstrating how to merge surfaces and<br> use and an Exodus-II vertex field to specify the discretization<br> size.<br> + examples/meshing/surface_nurbs/merge_surfs<br> + examples/meshing/cubit_cellsize<br><br><br>* Bug fixes<br><br> - Fixed omission of synchronization of stable time step computation<br> among processors. Minimum time step among all processors rather<br> than local value should be used.<br><br> - Fixed density scale not being set in NondimElasticQuasistatic.<br> Density scale should be set based on shear modulus, length scale,<br> and relaxation time.<br><br> - Added warning when initial state for a fault constitutive model is<br> not set. If an initial state value is not given, for rate-state<br> friction using a default value of L / reference slip rate. Other<br> fault constitutive models use a default value of 0.0 for initial<br> state variables.<br><br> - Separated tensor components in Xdmf files to avoid confusion. The<br> corresponding HDF5 files remain unchanged.<br><br> - Removed explicit time-stepping formulation with non-lumped<br> Jacobian. This formulation was not setup properly for spontaneous<br> rupture models and is too computationally expensive for practical<br> problems. The ExplicitLumped* formulations are now simply Explicit*.<br><br> - Fixed parallel bug that resulting in inconsistent orientation of<br> fault slip directions. Flipping the fault orientation was not<br> synchronized across processors. This bug would only appear when<br> running in parallel with faults that change from dipping in one<br> direction to dipping in the opposite direction.<br><br> - Fixed bug in setting name of field in OutputSolnPoints when output<br> multiple fields. This bug caused the name of the first output<br> field to be used and output data to overwrite each other.<br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>CIG-SHORT mailing list<br>CIG-SHORT@geodynamics.org<br>http://geodynamics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cig-short<br><br><br>End of CIG-SHORT Digest, Vol 74, Issue 10<br>*****************************************<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
