[CIG-SHORT] error when running pylith

[Brad Aagaard]

Bobak,

RuntimeError: Could not find final slip at (  245551  4.48109e+06) using 
spatial database Final slip.

This means your mesh has a point on the fault at the given coordinates, 
but the code could find points in the spatial database it could use to 
interpolate. This usually means you need to add points to your spatial 
database to span the range of locations in your mesh. In other words, 
the spatial database have points at x < a, but your mesh has points at x 
 > a. This error can also show up when you add points but forget to 
update num-locs in the header.

Another case where this error shows up is if you have a very nonuniform 
distribution of points. The spatial database only searches through the 
nearest 100 points to find ones it can use to interpolate. Thus if you 
have >100 points with dense coverage in a region x < a and then very 
sparse coverage for x > a, if a point is at x = a+epsilon, the nearest 
100 points might be in the region x < a, so interpolation fails. The fix 
in this case is to have a more gradual transition in sampling.

Note: You are also getting several warnings about unknown components at 
the top of your log file. This corresponds to trying to set values for 
components which do not exist in your model.

Regards,
Brad
