[CIG-SHORT] Problem_report_for_step02_of_3d_subduction_example

[Charles Williams]

Dear Kejing,

I’ve just looked at your problem briefly.  When I look at the displacement field, the maximum displacements are on the order of 14 m, while your maximum velocities (after the first time step) are on the order of 3 cm/year.  I doubt that you would see much difference in the displacement vectors over time, if that’s what you’re expecting.  To look at things in more detail, it would probably be helpful to turn on output for ‘viscous_strain’ for your mantle, and well as ‘velocity’ for your solution output.

Also, you will probably notice that since the slab is elastic, there is very little viscous strain in the mantle, except for near the bottom edge of the fault.

Cheers,
Charles
