From rene.gassmoeller at mailbox.org Fri Jul 6 16:06:56 2018 From: rene.gassmoeller at mailbox.org (Rene Gassmoeller) Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2018 16:06:56 -0700 Subject: [CIG-LONG] ASPECT 2.0.1 released In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6cce92f5-a79b-6628-502c-efc101592138@mailbox.org> We are pleased to announce the release of ASPECT 2.0.1. ASPECT is the Advanced Solver for Problems in Earth's ConvecTion. It uses modern numerical methods such as adaptive mesh refinement, multigrid, and a modular software design to provide a fast, flexible, and extensible mantle convection solver. ASPECT is available from                    https://aspect.geodynamics.org/ and the release is available from         https://github.com/geodynamics/aspect/releases/tag/v2.0.1 This release is a bugfix release for 2.0.0 and includes the following fixes: - Fixed: The 'compositional heating' heating plugin had a parameter   'Use compositional field for heat production averaging' that was used   inconsistently with its description. Its first entry did not correspond   to the background field, but to the first compositional field, and the   last value was ignored. This is fixed now, the first entry is used for   the background field, and all following values determine whether to include   the corresponding compositional fields. - Fixed: The 'depth dependent' material model did not properly initialize   the material model it uses as a base model. This caused crashes if the   base model requires an initialization (such as the 'steinberger' material   model). This is fixed now by properly initializing the base model. - Fixed: The advection assembler for DG elements was not thread-safe,   which led to wrong results or crashes if a discontinuous temperature   or composition discretization was combined with multithreading. - Disabled: The particle functionality was not tested when combined with a   free surface boundary, and this combination is currently not supported. This   limitation is now made clear by failing for such setups with a descriptive   error message.
