Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	3D
Spatial extent	Regional-Scale
Model domain	Geodynamic
One-line model description	DynEarthSol3D is a finite element solver that models the momentum balance and the heat transfer of elasto-visco-plastic material in the Lagrangian form.
Extended model description	DynEarthSol3D (Dynamic Earth Solver in Three Dimensions) is a flexible, open-source finite element code that solves the momentum balance and the heat transfer in Lagrangian form using unstructured meshes. It can be used to study the long-term deformation of Earth's lithosphere and problems alike.
