[CIG-SHORT] Mesh interpenetration

[Li, Teng]

Hi,

Please see the attached picture which shows the junction of the secondary fault and the main fault. I used paraview to visualize the vtk file. In the paraview, I used wrap by vector filter to show the displacement of the junction. As we can see, it seems interpenetration occurs in this area. And two faces separate from each other.  I wonder whether this is a valid result? And if it is not right, what might be the reason? Thanks.

Best,
Teng
