Mandyoc is a finite element code written on top of the PETSc library to simulate thermo-chemical convection of the Earth's mantle. Different linear and non-linear rheologies can be adopted, appropriately simulating the strain and stress pattern in the Earth's crust and mantle, both in extensional or collisional tectonics.
In this opportunity, we will present a showcase to simulates the evolution of divergent margins taking into account the plastic rheology and the sin-rift geodynamics.
