Thank you Matt and Surendra. I will start creating the mesh and see if I have any topology issue.

I defined the buried edges for the two faults in red but I am not sure if I should consider the bottom (curve with question on the sketch) of the fault in blue as part of the edges since it intersects the green fault. Any advice on how to deal with this problem will be gladly appreciated.
