SALES 2 and Tekton are two numerical tools that have been used to simulate complex crater collapse. SALES 2 is a hydrocode capable of modeling the dynamic collapse of large impact craters. It has been successfully applied to the problem of central peak and peak-ring formation. Tekton is a finite-element code designed to be applied to a wide range of tectonic problems, where displacements are relatively small and the dynamics are less important. It has been used extensively to simulate the relaxation of large craters and the formation of exterior rings in multi-ring basins. Here we apply both techniques to the collapse of the Silverpit crater, to compare and contrast their capabilities.
