[CIG-SHORT] slip orientation for a nonplanar fault surface

[Jiangzhi Chen]

Hi everyone,

     I am working on a subduction simulation, where the fault interface 
is nonplanar, and the subduction slab moves in northeast direction at 4 
cm/year before it meets the overriding plate. My question is how I can 
specify the kinematic fault interface. It is not appropriate to use 
predefined slip functions, because the slip rates depend on the location 
which is changing with time. Is there a way to make this work? Any help 
is appreciated.

cheers,
Jiangzhi
