[CIG-LONG] Gale

[Ritske S. Huismans]

Hello, 

I am interested to use Gale for comparison with other ALE codes in
2D/3D. 
I have installed Gale on our system, it runs the basic tests fine. 

some questions / comments that I am happy to get some feedback on: 
1. There are some small differences in model results from visual
comparison with the Gale manual. 

2. Most notably, the 2D Tibet example does not show plastic localisation
when I run it, not sure what may be different. 

3. I have tried to run the tibet3d.xml example but get memory failures
of ptsc, even if I reduce the model resolution to 
something small, e.g. 16 x 16 x 4
I have tried to run this last example at 256 cpu with 1 Gb/core. this
should be enough. 

I am especially interested in feedback how to get Gale running for 3D
problems including plastic localisation. 
Thanks for any comments you can give in this regard, 

Best wishes,
Ritske
