SNAC: A 3D parallel explicit finite element code for long-term lithospheric deformation modeling
Abstract
SNAC (StGermaiN Analysis of Continua) is a 3D parallel explicit finite element code for modeling long-term deformations of lithosphere. It is an open source being distributed through Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (http://geodynamics.org/cig/software/snac/) as well as through CSDMS web site (https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Model:SNAC).
This clinic will provide an overview of SNAC and lead participants through a typical work procedure for producing a 3D lithospheric deformation model on a high performance cluster. Specifically, participants will take the following steps: 0) acquiring an account on the CSDMS HPC (to be done before the clinic); 1) checking out the source code through a version control system; 2) building SNAC on the cluster; 3) getting familiar with SNAC by running a cookbook example in parallel and visualizing outputs; 4) modifying the source codes to customize a model.
