[Solved] Traction_initial in the fault_info.h5 file is different from defined in the spatialdb file

[Di_Deng]

Hi there,

I defined left-lateral initial stress 36 MPa in the spatialdb file, but got strange values around zero in the fault_info file.

The mesh looks like this. I defined a curve at around 50 km. There is no such problem if running a straight fault. I am using pylith 2.2.2 and the mesh is tet. Does anyone know why? Thank you!

Best,
Di

The left-lateral initial stress in fault_info file is like this but I define it 36 MPa in the spatialdb file. It should be a problem of geometry but I do not know how to fix it.

Oh I just got it. The initial stress in fault_info .h5 file is actually 36 MPa with 1e-8 deviation. This should be fine.
