Purpose
ADELI is a FORTRAN 77 Finite Element software developed to model the
thermo-mechanical behaviour of the crust and the lithosphere at geological
time scales for 2D and 3D quasi-static problems. The analysis is performed
in large strain using the concept of objective derivative. While the space
is discretized
using linear elements (triangles in 2d and tetrahedrons in 3d), the time
approximation is done using an explicit finite method based on the Dynamic
Relaxation Method.
