It contains the ASPECT code and reference model input file. The workflow for running rifting models is simpliy descriebd below:

1. Install the ASPECT code (DEAL.II is assumed to be installed already)

1.1 Create and enter a build directory.

          mkdir aspect_build

          cd aspect_build

1.2 Run the following cmake command including the path of your installed FastScape:

          cmake ../aspect/ -DFASTSCAPE=/path/to/fastscapelib-fortran/build/libfastscapelib_fortran.dylib

1.3 Finally build ASPECT with:

          make -j2

2. Install plugins of continental rift setups and dike intrusion function

2.1 Create a new folder plugins_build and go there

         mkdir plugins_build

         cd plugins_build

         cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DAspect_DIR=/path/to/aspect/build/dir ..

         make

2.2 Include the created shared lib in the prm file as

          set Additional shared libraries = /path/to/libyour_name.so

3. Running the code

          /path/to/plugins_build/aspect reference_model.prm

 

More details about how to install DEAL.II and ASPECT can be found on their official websites. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to contact S. Liu (sliu@geomar.de).
