[CIG-SHORT] Not able to run dynamic fault (step11) with Pylith-1.9.0 installed from source

[Brad Aagaard]

Birendra,

I don't find any problems with examples/3d/hex8/step11. It runs fine for 
me using the binary and building from source. My guess is that something 
is wrong with your installation. Did you wipe out all of the old PyLith 
stuff in your PATH, PYTHONPATH, etc or at least adjust your PATH, 
PYTHONPATH, etc so that they only see v1.9.0? Did all of the tests pass 
when you built pylith using the installer?

What happens when you do the following?
nemesis
import pylith.faults.FaultCohesiveDyn
pylith.faults.FaultCohesiveDyn.__file__

You can also try running
pylithinfo --verbose step11.cfg

The output will be written to pylith_parameters.txt. It will show you 
where every parameter is set. You would first need to fix any validation 
errors to get this far, because those are tripped before the parameters 
can be written.

Regards,
Brad
