SEM2DPACK version 2.3.8 released

SEM2DPACK is a spectral element method solver for 2D wave propagation and fracture dynamics, with emphasis on computational seismology and earthquake source dynamics.

A new version of SEM2DPACK (2.3.8) is now available for download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sem2d

This version can read mesh files exported by the mesh generation programs CUBIT and EZ4U, and introduces kinematic fault sources, heterogeneous coefficients for anistropic media, absorbing boundaries with arbitrary orientation, Gaussian source time function and pre-processing utilities to compute critical time steps. Bugs are fixed in time-weakening friction and handling of fault tip nodes of single-sided faults.
