Q & A Log from online sessions
Downloadable movies use a Flash related codec that may require a QuickTime plugin to play on your computer.
- Windows users: K-Lite Codec Pack + Windows Media Player reportedly can play the movies.
- Mac users: Perian plugin for QuickTime from perian.org.
- Linux users: A movie player such as mplayer or kplayer (for KDE) or equivalent with the libavcodec library.
Times listed for each session below are for Schedule A and PDT (San Francisco) for convenience.
Monday - Beginner Tutorials
These tutorials are designed for users that have little or no experience with finite-element modeling tools, but have been introduced to the techniques of finite-element analysis. These tutorials will introduce users to state-of-the-art tools for finite-element modeling of crustal deformation.
