[CIG-SHORT] FYI: Defmod - FE code for modeling crustal deformation

[Tabrez Ali]

Good evening

Sorry for spamming the CIG list but I wanted to announce the release of 
Defmod, a small parallel finite element code for modeling short term 
crustal deformation that I have been working on and using for some of my 
own work. It might also be of interest to some of you here.

Defmod can be used to model static, quasi-static and dynamic processes 
such as co-seismic slip, volcanic rifting, post-seismic viscous 
relaxation, post-glacial rebound etc. It is being released under GPL v3 
so you are free to use, modify and share the code. The code is available at

http://code.google.com/p/defmod/

Currently elastic and viscoelastic rheologies are supported. Absorbing 
BCs are not yet implemented but will be added soon.

At present there is no formal documentation but a few example input 
files are available at the above website. The code is very simple and 
small (only ~1200 lines of Fortran 95) so for most part it should be 
easy to understand and modify.

For more information please see
