Hi Teng,

You had sent it before, I just forgot.  Also, could you send the .cfg files with your PETSc settings?

Cheers,
Charles

When I look at the HDF5 file, it appears that opening slip with absolute values greater than 1.0e-5 occurs for time steps 69 and greater, on nodes 1804-1807.  These nodes are not quite at the center of your mesh (slightly to the right), and we have the following:

I’m actually not sure what a reasonable amount of normal slip would be — maybe Brad knows.  Can you send the .json file that Brad mentioned?  That will tell us the settings you’ve been using.

I am wondering why we have value here in fault.h5 file and we can not see the normal slip in fault.xmf file in Paraview? And I used pylith --nodes=2 to run the .cfg file in my personal Macbook. I am wondering whether this can cause some wrong datas in the output fault.h5 file?
