[CIG-LONG] SNAC-1.2.0 released

[Eunseo Choi]

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce an update of SNAC (StGermaiN Analysis of
Continua) to version 1.2.0. SNAC 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.

In this update, the base algorithm for remeshing has been changed and,
as a result, remeshing in SNAC has become more stable. Now SNAC can run
for an extended period of time, which would interest the long-term
tectonics community. The updated user manual also contains more
information. On the users' end, however, there is no visible change:
input files for the previous version can be used without modification.

You can download the source code from

http://geodynamics.org/cig/software/packages/long/snac

Installation instructions are available in the User Manual on the web page.

Sincerely,
Eunseo Choi
