[aspect-devel] Trying to customize dynamic topography

[Austermann, Jacqueline]

Hi Felipe,

   i) I want to use a custom value for 'Density above', but I cannot do it. I have tried writing the instruction ''      set Density above = 1000   '' at different places in the section Postprocess.

   I have also tried doing it creating '' subsection Dynamic Topography
                                                            set Density above = 1000      ''

 or writing it as Visualization/Dynamic Topography..

 I also browsed github at no avail.

     where and how should this variable and instruction be properly written?

The dynamic topography is calculated twice, once for the text output and once for the visualization output. So if you want the density above to be 1000 in both I believe you’ll have to do something like this in your parameter file:

subsection Postprocess
set List of postprocessors = dynamic topography, visualization
subsection Dynamic Topography
set Density above = 1000
end

   subsection Visualization
    set List of output variables      = dynamic topography
     subsection Dynamic Topography
       set Density above = 1000
     end
   end
end

You can of course combine that with any other postprocessor. Give that a try.


ii) Is there any way to prevent ASPECT from producing topography files at every step, and instead to force it to do it with a stride, every certain number of steps?

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is an option to do that yet. You’d have to implement it.

Hope that helps!

Best,
Jacky
