Christoffel is a Python module for calculating wave velocities from elastic properties. This software is designed to determine direction-dependent acoustic phase and group velocities of a homogeneous material based on its stiffness tensor. It is a light-weight, highly customizable package with an emphasis on flexibility and ease of use: http://janjaeken.github.io/christoffel/
