Here is a new input file, based on input/examples/rifting.xml.  The
dike has been rotated 45 degrees.  On my laptop, I ran it with the command

  mpirun -np 2 ./Gale sato.xml --elementResI=64 --elementResJ=16 --elementResK=16

I am attaching a picture of the strain-rate after two steps.  Let me
know if this is what you wanted.
