PetroSim is a collection of petrological simulation tools.

Installation

PetroSim can be installed from the source or with pip as follows:

EC-AFC

The EC-AFC¹ model is a tool for simulating the evolution of the geochemical composition of a magma body as it intrudes into country rock, assimilating wallrock into the melt and fractionally crystallizing out cumulates.

Usage

An EC-AFC simulation is run with the standalone driver script using the command below, taking the initial parameters via a YAML formatted input.in file and outputting the results in the output.csv CSV file:

python3 -m petrosim.models.ecafc.driver input.in output.csv
