Errors in the material model

ASPECT

Hello, everyone

Recently I was trying to talk about free surfaces in a spherical shell model, I made some changes to the parameter file, and encountered some confusion in the material model modification. I have declared the Reference density and given a specific value, but at run time I say that there is no entry named declared in the current section. May I ask where I made a mistake?

Dear Lu,

Please post the whole input file and the whole error message.

We’d also prefer it if you simplified your input file to the simplest possible that still showed the error. This will help us debug, or in the best case scenario might reveal the source of the error to you.

Best wishes,
Bob

@ddarkerlu Actually, I think the error message is quite clear: Apparently, in line 81 of your input file, you are referencing a parameter “Reference density”. But, in the section line 81 is in, no such parameter exists. If line 81 is in the part that you show, that would be in the “Material model/Visco Plastic” section. And it is true, if you look at https://aspect.geodynamics.org/doc/parameter_view/parameters.xml and type “Visco Plastic” into the search box, that that section does not have such a parameter.
