LaMEM_course

Set of input scripts to readily learn how to create more complex input setup for LaMEM

Report

Individual report: 2 pages of text max (figures not included)

• Scientific questions: Why this model? What are you investigating?
• Describe modelling approach: Model setup, geometry, boundary conditions (top, bottom, etc), thermal and mechanical material properties and investigated parameters.
• Modelling results: Describe modelling results, including figures produced using paraview.
• Discussion/perspectives. What did you learn? How can you improve the models, what would be the next step? How do the models compare to a real case?
