[CIG-SEISMO] modeling layers with variation in the thickness using internal mesher

[Dimitri Komatitsch]

Hi,

In principle yes the internal mesher can be used. In practice however 
the quality of the mesh you will get will largely depend on the 
thickness variation of the top layer (if it varies a lot then mesh 
quality may tend to be poor, in which case an external mesher such as 
CUBIT/TRELIS or Gmsh for instance would perform better).
