Geophysical direct and inverse modeling
Project description
Fatiando a Terra provides command-line tools and an API for a variety of geophysical modeling applications. It makes heavy use of Numpy for linear algebra operations, provides a high level interface to visualise your data and results using Matplotlib for 2D and Mayavi2 for 3D. Optimized code is written in Fortran and C and wrapped to Python using Numpy’s f2py.

Downloading and Installing
Fatiando requires:
numpy
scipy
matplotlib
PIL
mayavi
All of these can be easily found in most GNU/Linux distros. You will also need the Python header files (called python-dev in Debian and Ubuntu) and a C compiler (GCC comes with almost every distro).
After you’ve installed the dependencies you can proceed to install Fatiando using pip (remember to install pip before if don’t have it):
pip install fatiando
That’s it! Alternatively, you can run the setup.py script:
python setup.py install
The team
Fatiando is being developed by a group of geophysics graduates from the Universidade de Sao Paulo and the Observatorio Nacional in Brazil. Work done here is part of some Masters and Phd projects.
