New Revision: 19789

Modified:
   short/3D/PyLith/branches/v1.6-stable/examples/3d/hex8/pylithapp.cfg
   short/3D/PyLith/branches/v1.6-stable/examples/3d/hex8/step11.cfg
Log:
Correct error. Set time step with reasonable value so that velocities and slip rates are nondimensioanlized appropriately. Increase displacement in step11 so slip is larger.
