LOV3D is a Matlab package for obtaining the tidal response of multi-layered viscoelastic self-gravitating bodies with lateral variations of interior properties. For a given interior structure and tidal load, the software solves the mass conservation, momentum conservation and Poisson equations and computes the tidal Love numbers. For more information please see the README file and the user manual in /Docs.
