pyGMS

pyGMS is a Python 3 module designed to analyse the rheological behaviour of lithosphere-scale 3D structural models that were created with the GeoModellingSystem (GMS, GFZ Potsdam). pyGMS was originally written for the purpose of plotting yield strength envelope cross sections for my PhD thesis.
