Hi Charles,

Thanks! I will read the manual and have a look at this example.

Best,

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

Hi Charles,

This is the only line in the PETSc settings. It seems that I need to add more arguments in PETSc settings. I am wondering whether I can just use the default value?

Hi Teng,

I don’t see any PETSc settings in here other than log_summary.  Where are all your solver/convergence settings?

Cheers,
Charles

Hi Teng,

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

Cheers,

Dear Charles,

Thanks!

I remember I sent the .json file in a previous email. Maybe there is something wrong. Please find the attachment for the .json file.

And actually, in the same position, I find both shear traction and normal traction become zero after time step 69. If there is no normal slip, can I assume there is no damage in this region?

Best,
Teng

Dear Teng,

You are correct that the normal slip doesn’t seem to show up in Paraview.  I believe this must be a rounding issue.  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:

>>> coords[1804:1808,:]
array([[    0.        ,  2575.51243781],
       [    0.        ,  2563.00995025],
       [    0.        ,  2550.50746269],
       [    0.        ,  2538.00497512]])
>>> slip[68:70,1804:1808,:]

array([[[ 3.22609558, -0.00405558],
        [ 3.2170178 , -0.00427933],
        [ 3.2045508 , -0.00417583],
        [ 3.1879853 , -0.00531141]],

       [[ 3.33065722, -0.00405906],
        [ 3.32156487, -0.00428167],
        [ 3.30908228, -0.00417447],
        [ 3.29249541, -0.00530886]],

        [ 3.34538406, -0.0053216 ]]])

I’ve just printed out a few time steps as an example.  It appears that the ratio of normal slip to shear slip decreases with time.  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.

Cheers,
Charles

Hi,

Please find the attachments. The first file is xmf file which can be viewed in Paraview. However, I don't see any slip y value in Paraview in all time steps. And I use Matlab to postprocess fault.h5 file and obtain the results. Please find the two pictures for details. As we can see, four points have normal slip.

Here are the Matlab code to find the slip:

hinfoh=hdf5info('/Desktop/fault.h5');
coords=hdf5read(hinfoh.GroupHierarchy.Groups(1).Datasets(1));
slip=hdf5read(hinfoh.GroupHierarchy.Groups(3).Datasets(1));

After opening the variable slip, I find normal slip in columns 1805 - 1808 after time step 69. 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?

Best,
Teng

Teng,

Is this a quasi-static simulation? If so, is the solution converging at
every time step?

If you are using PyLith v2.2.0, please send the JSON parameters file
that is generated during the run.

Brad

Dear Charles,

We have a 2d model in my problem. And in this region, where I have
normal slip, both normal traction and shear traction become zero. In the
beginning, all the points in this region have positive normal slip, and
the maximum slip is 0.004. Then, the points have negative normal slip,
the values are between -0.006 to -0.003.

And I will use Paraview to see the possible normal slip of the points
along the fault.

Dear Teng,

Is this a 2D or 3D problem?  If it’s 2D then slip(:,2) should be the
normal slip.  If it’s 3D I think it should be slip(:,3) (I’m not a
Matlab user, but I believe it uses 1-based indexing).  If there is
actually normal slip, how large is it?

You should be able to look at the VTK files in Paraview.  Just open the
fault VTK file and view ‘slip’.  Then select the component you want to view.

Cheers,
Charles

Hi,

I have some questions about the normal slip of the points along the
fault. Please find the attachments.

I output the slip(:,2) in matlab to obtain the normal slip of all the
points along the fault in my model. And I use open_free_surface=False
to make sure the initial traction still exists when the fault opens.
However, I find certain points have normal slip. In some time steps,
they have positive normal slip, while in some other times, they have
negative normal slip. I am wondering why they have the normal slip in
2 different directions?

And the second picture is the slip convention in pylith-2.2.0 manual.
It is in the page 119/268. I think the meaning is that the positive
normal slip is the fault opening direction.

And in the third picture, I see negative values of fault opening
implys penetration.

Since the penetration is never allowed, I wonder why we have both
positive and negative slip results? Is it due to the incomplete or
wrong .vtk output?

And is there a way to see the fault opening using Paraview? I think
using Paraview to visualize those points can help me figure out the
meaning of their normal slips.

Hope for your reply!

Best,
Teng
