[CIG-SHORT] pylith-2.1 one.way coupled to a reservoir simulator

[Charles Williams]

Dear Alberto,

Are you using the stresses to control a bulk rheology (e.g., elastoplastic), or fault rheology?  Also, since this is one-way coupling, I’m assuming the fluid pressure is changing independently of the deformation — correct?  It seems to me it might be possible to use time-varying tractions for faults if that’s what you’re doing.  Otherwise, you may have to do as you say.

Cheers,
Charles

I have to run  a new pylith quasi-static simulations using  at time n+1 new pressure in an incremental manner on top of the stress calculated at the end of time step n.
