[CIG-SHORT] Set up the half size problem

[Charles Williams]

Hi Xiao,

If I’m understanding you correctly, you want the fault surface to coincide with one of your external boundaries.  Unfortunately, you can’t do this in PyLith, as you require both sides of the fault.

Cheers,
Charles

I am attaching the problem figure .
