Slab contour as input in 3D subduction model

PyLith

Dear everyone,

I am a PhD student and currently learn to do simulation with 3D subduction zone model.

I would like to ask the format of slab contour to create the surface in cubit. I already downloaded slab contour from Hayes and I checked the slab contour data in the examples/3d/subduction/mesh/cas_contours_dep.in.txt. They have different order (slab contour form Hayes starts from deeper depth. But the example starts from shallower depth). Do I have to rearrange the data by myself or pylith provides the script to extract the slab contour?

Thank you for your assisstances.

The Python script generate_surfjou.py used to generate the slab geometry in examples/3d/subduction/mesh is provided to illustrate the general workflow. In almost all cases, you will need to adapt the script for your particular case.

Thank you for your response, Brad. I will try to adapt the script.
