[CIG-SHORT] Question about normal slip of points along the fault

Hi Teng,

If you’re sure there aren’t any PETSc settings in pylithapp.cfg, you definitely need to include a number of settings.  I can’t think of a good example to point you to, but have a look in the manual.  You might also get some ideas from the friction examples in examples/3d/hex8.

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 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?
