[CIG-SHORT] intersecting fractures

[Charles Williams]

To follow up on Matt’s response, this means that PyLith isn’t really set up to handle fractures, but it can handle faults.

Cheers,
Charles

I havent seen such an example in the tutorial part and I havent started to create my own geometry with Pylith yet. So I couldn’t try, thats why I am asking.
