Dear Walter and everyone,

How is going on about dyke hill problem?
I'd like to include this numerical modeling as a part of my PhD thesis, 
so I am waiting for the solution, although it is my personal problem.

In this time, I have another questions.
1. How many time steps are equivalent to 1 kyr or 1Myr, assuming the 
scaling factor is 10^22 s ?
    I would line to know the scaling, XX steps = 1kyr, or 1step = XX kyr.
2. Would you tell me the way to set the asthenosphere as visco-elastic 
material and the lithosphere as elasto-plastic material ?
For visco-elastic material, I think one is to set large value for 
initial Softening Strain, is it OK?

Sincerely,
Taichi
