[CIG-SEISMO] Help with visualizing output in Google Earth

[Nena Carina Espanola]

Good day to all!

I'm a system administrator for our cluster and have installed 
SPECFEM3D_GLOBE Version 5.0.1 for researchers to use. I want to make a 
simple simulation, visualize it in Google Earth, and demonstrate it to 
future users of our facility.

What I'm trying to simulate is an earthquake that occurred last July 16, 
1990 with epicenter in Northern Philippines. I chose this earthquake 
since this is one of the most destructive earthquakes in the history of 
the Philippines. I already have the CMTSOLUTION file, however, I'm not 
very sure how to set the Par_file as I know very little (almost nothing) 
about seismology. I do not know which model would be best to use for 
Google Earth animations. I've already tried a global run using s362ani 
(as this is the default model set in Par_file). I then followed the 
instructions found in UTILS/Visualization/GoogleEarth folder to create 
the animation.kml file. However, when I tried viewing it in Google 
Earth, it shows a huge red X on the other side of the earth and a thick 
line connecting the north and south poles.

I'm attaching the Par_file, CMTSOLUTION, and the bash script I use for 
your reference.

Thanks in advance,

Nena :-)
