This program is used to calculate the elastic tidal response of a planet with 3-D elastic and density structures in any depth ranges of the manle. Perturbation theory is adopted for the formulation and spectral method is used for solving mode couplings and tidal response. The total tidal response is represented by the sum of modal responses at each order of perturbation: 0, 1 and 2. Each model response is determined using propagator matrix method, which is based on Runge-Kutta numerical scheme.
