Software, services and open source software for solving geodynamic problems
The article reviews some software products that have functionalities useful in solving geodynamic research problems. Commercial software, scientific software complexes, online services, open-source software are considered. The available software products allowing the analysis and modelling of deformations (two and three dimensional) by the finite elements method are considered in particular detail. As a result of the analysis of the available software, the authors have identified a goal for further work - the development of a geodynamic module using the Python programming language, which solves a wide range of tasks based on the results of geodetic measurements. The first problem to be solved in the module is the finite element analysis of Earth’s crust deformations, which does not have significant limitations on the number of points of the geometric model, based on the open-source developments in the article.
