Hi there,
Recently, I want to creat a model to reconcile the deformation in long-term and interseismic.
I used the Pylith v.2.2.2
In my viewpoint, I can set the faults with low friction coefficiency to simulate the long-term deformation. Because the MHT faults in Himalayan is free-slip without significant internal deformation.Secendly, when the long-term model reach the steady state, I set the faults with high friction coefficiency to simulate the interseismic deformation (locked).
Since pylith does not support setting different friction coefficients at different times within a single simulation, in my plan, I will first conduct a long-term simulation, and then use its results as the initial conditions for the interseismic simulation. Then, I will modify the friction coefficient to conduct the inter-earthquake simulation.
Can pylith be used to conduct this simulation, or can a similar simulation be achieved by other faults setting.

Thank you for your reply. Regarding using the results of the previous simulation as the initial conditions for the next simulation, are there any specific examples that would be helpful for me to learn from?

In PyLith v2.2.2 the best example is examples/2d/subduction/step04. It is likely not exactly what you are looking for, but it demonstrates the workflow of taking HDF5 output and turning it into a spatial database.
