I’m new in PyLith and would like to know the parameters needed to generate 3D homogenous elastic model with fault. I already generated a mesh using Gmsh. ---

I recommend starting with working through the example suite ([Examples — PyLith 4.0.0 documentation](https://pylith.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/examples/index.html)). They build upon one another, progressing from just a 2D or 3D box without a fault using very simple boundary conditions to more complex geometry and fault and boundary conditions. A subset of the examples are discussed in the online tutorials ([Geodynamics - Courses: PyLith Tutorials: Offerings](https://geodynamics.org/courses/PyLith/offerings)). ---

Thank you @baagaard!
