[CIG-SHORT] Help with non uniform shear traction on the fault surface

[Charles Williams]

Dear Xiao,

It sounds like you need to use a spatial database to specify the fault tractions.  This is described in the manual, and I’m pretty sure that one of the 3d/hex8 examples covers this as well.

Cheers,
Charles
