Video Tutorial

In this three-part tutorial we look at the mechanical deformation of a sedimentary basin under an advancing glacier. In detail we show you a possibility how to

• create a mesh with Gmsh,
• implement space- and time-dependent boundary conditions,
• write an OGS input file,
• visualize the results with ParaView.

As a common programming language we use Python.

Part 1: Preprocessing

Part 2: Solving

Part 3: Postprocessing
