Hi, I am using Pylith 2.2.1 and was built from source. I built my 2D subduction model with 6 blocks that have the same material properties because I want a homogeneous medium. The size of the mesh is 500m close to the f…

Hi, I am trying to initial stress in a 2D subduction zone with a triangle mesh. I put the gravity (using the example) in my subduction (same example than in the manual) and now I am trying to do the step8. I already re-…
