Purpose

PyLith is is portable, scalable software for simulation of crustal deformation across spatial scales ranging from meters to hundreds of kilometers and temporal scales ranging from milliseconds to thousands of years. Its primary applications are quasi-static and dynamic modeling of earthquake faulting. The code is under active development, and the current version is 2.2.2.
