[CIG-SHORT] question about Pylith

[Charles Williams]

Dear Xu Bei,

I’m not quite sure what you’re asking for.  If you want a model that includes both dynamic rupture and interseismic deformation, PyLith is not yet able to do that.  If you’re interested in a quasi-static problem over multiple earthquake cycles, that is possible.  We do not have an example that does exactly this, but have a look at examples/2d/subduction/step04.cfg.  This might be enough to get you started.

Cheers,
Charles

The dynamic model of the earthquake cycles is constrained by multiple sets of observations and previous theoretical findings, such as the interseismic slip rate provided by geodesy, the historical catalog of recurrence times and hypocenter locations of Mw 6.0 events.The area with rate-weakening friction, where seismic slip can nucleate, is bounded by rate-strengthening patches. I do not find a similar example in the tutorial, so I am wondering whether Pylith can achieve the functions and whether there is a simple example.
