[CIG-SHORT] Overlapping faults in pylith

[Brad Aagaard]

Xiao,

Yes, you can have faults meet in a T-like intersection.

1. Be sure to list the through-going fault first in the list of interfaces.
2. Mark all nodes along buried edges of the faults in the mesher, 
including those along the branch that intersect the through-going fault.
3. Use the edge = NODESET_NAME parameter to tell PyLith which nodes are 
along the buried edges.

See examples/2d/greensfns/strike-slip for how we mark the buried nodes 
(only 2 in this 2-D problem) and use the edge parameter.

Regards,
Brad
