[CIG-SHORT] Strange artifact on edge of 3d simulation

[Brad Aagaard]

Jiangzhi,

Please check the output written to stdout. Is the solution converging? 
If you see things like DIV_MAXIT, it means the iterative solve ended due 
to hitting the maximum iteration count. For more information on solver 
settings, see Session IV: Optimizing Solver Parameters of the 2013 
online tutorial 
(http://geodynamics.org/archive/community/workinggroups/short/workshops/cdm2013/agenda).
