[CIG-LONG] StaticBottom

[Matty Mookerjee]

Hello all,

I am having some difficulty with a model and implementing StaticBottom.  I am using a SurfaceAdaptor to define the bottom of my model and then I am imposing a velocity boundary condition to one side of my model in the hopes of moving material over this irregular bottom surface.  Unfortunately, the bottom is moving along with the material.  I tried defining "StaticBottom": "True in EulerDeform, but that seems to have no effect.

Any advice?

Another issue is that as the model is configured currently, there is air above the deforming material.  Because the air has such weak properties, the strain within the air dwarfs the strain accumulating in the solid material.  Can I run the model with no air/background rheology?  So far any attempts to do this have resulted in a segmentation fault.

Thanks for your help.
