Citcom

Citcom is a finite element code originally developed by Louis Moresi to solve convection problems in planetary mantles. The subsequent development of Citcom is due to efforts of many people including Shijie Zhong, Lijie Han, Clint Conrad, Eh Tan and Allen McNamara. The documentation and the source codes can be dowloaded from CIG web site.
