Also, the manual states that each region should be defined as:<br>XI_begin XI_end ETA_begin ETA_end material_ID<br>However, in the examples, I see also two more parameters: <br clear="all">&nbsp;#NZ_BEGIN #NZ_END<br>Could you please clarify this? I can't seem to run the mesher without these parameters defined.<br>
<br>In addition, I am trying to simulate the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Do you happen to have a mesh, created with xmeshfem3D (I don't have CUBIT or SCOTCH installed on the cluster), which includes the trench bathymetry in that region?<br>
