[CIG-SHORT] fault edge motion

Huihui,

I do not know what you mean by "two adjacent planar faults". Are the 
faults parallel? perpendicular? Do they intersect? Please send a diagram 
of your fault geometry and indicate which edges you marked as buried 
fault edges.

Thanks,
Brad

The PyLith of new version requires me to provide the fault edge, i.e., the group of nodes in the line that connects the two faults. But I find the fault edge always keep fixed. How can I set up the model to make the fault edge move to fill the “gap” of slip between these two faults? It does seem it is OK for 2D models of older Pylith versions. Thanks.
