I would like to ask your help: I was trying to do some exercises to get used to CitcomS but I was not successful in post-processing the data with the pid file. So, I was not able to visualize the results that I get. Thank you in advance for your time and help.

But to make the life of those easier who *can* answer such questions, it would be very useful if you described what you tried, what exactly didn't work, what the error message was, etc. There are a million possible reasons why "I was not successful in post-processing the data" could have happened, and without more information, nobody will be able to give you concrete suggestions of what may have gone wrong.

Rene Gassmoeller will be delivering tomorrow’s CIG webinar Thursday November 10 @ 2pm PT talking to us about a key feature of ASPECT - particle implementation. Intricacies of particle-in-cell methods in convection models with adaptive meshes: Using ASPECT's particle implementation Rene Gassmoeller, CSU Fort Collins Particle-in-cell methods have a long history in modeling of mantle convection, lithospheric deformation and crustal dynamics. However, their efficient parallel implementation and application in models - in particular combined with adaptive meshes - is involved due to the complex reassignment of particles to cells and frequent parallel communication. In this webinar, I present the implementation of a flexible, scalable and efficient particle-in-cell method for the massively parallel finite-element code ASPECT. I discuss the complexity of the implemented algorithms, present scaling tests and discuss load-balancing strategies like balanced repartitioning for particles in adaptive meshes with their strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, I will show an application tutorial on how to convert a model with compositional fields into one using the particle advection scheme, and which consequences follow from this conversion for model runtime and accuracy.
