Model description

Model type: Modular model for the terrestrial, coastal and marine domain.
Description: Lithospheric flexure solution for infinite plate. Load is assumed to be convolved with Greens function (unit load) response in order to calculate the net effect of the load. If desired, inclusion of sediments as part of the restoring force effect can be controlled via density assigned to density (2). Each load element can have specified density and several loadings events can be incorporated.

Technical information

Supported platforms: UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows
Programming language: Fortran77
Model development started at: 1992 and ended 1994
To what degree will the model become available: Source code will be available
Current license type: --
Memory requirements: <512MB
Typical run time: A few seconds

Input / Output description

Input parameters: Width of loading element (meters), value for flexural rigidity (Nm), number of nodes describing baseline position, number of loading events, number of loading elements for event, number of hidden load elements.
