[CIG-SHORT] RELAX Question

[Sylvain Barbot]

Hi Austin,

The details of the input file for surface loads are in the documentation
and in the man page. There are some pdf files on the geodynamics website
that show examples of surface loads for the Himalayan region if I recall
well.

But the input file simply expects a list of squares with their
associated traction. So depending on your project, this can be a single
point, say to represent the loading of a dam, or a complicated function of
space and time. If your change of load is instantaneous, you need only one
event. Of your load is time dependent, you need as many events as you have
time steps. I can be more specific, but I need more information about your
practical goals.

Cheers,
Sylvain
