This virtual workshop will focus on providing training in the use of the CIG PyLith software for quasi-static modeling of crustal deformation, with an emphasis on interseismic, coseismic, and postseismic deformation. The training will also include instruction in CUBIT/Trelis for creating finite-element meshes as input for PyLith and visualizing PyLith output using Paraview.

This two-day virtual workshop will be held Monday August 24 - Tuesday August 25, 2015, using AdobeConnect web-based tools. Each of the two days will be divided into 2 hour sessions with morning (Pacific Time) and afternoon (Pacific Time) sessions. There are no registration fees.
