[CIG-SHORT] use pylith to model magma chamber

[xitong at u.washington.edu]

hi Charles,

Thank you for answering. Then I will try to learn some basics about pylith before the workshop
to get prepared. We do have a 16-core main computer to run bigger models so if the small problem works out 
I can try to extend it to a bigger model on the main computer.

cheers,
Xiaopeng

I have a small demo I presented at IAVCEI about a year ago, and I can make the tarball available if you’re interested.  Brad, where should I put something like this?

It is possible to model inflation of magma chambers, but we don't have a good example. I will try to find one that I created a few years ago and have it available for the workshop.
