This directory contains a set of 3 elastic plane strain example problems. All problems share the same mesh and material properties, with the only differences being in the boundary conditions. The mesh consists of two triangles forming a square. The information describing the examples may be divided into four groups: 1. Global mesh information: described in file twotri3.mesh 2. Parameter settings common to all examples: described in file pylithapp.cfg. 3. Material properties common to all examples: described in the database file matprops.cfg. 4. Example-specific parameters and boundary condition specifications. The examples and associated files are: 1. axialdisp: Axial displacements are applied to the lower left and upper right corners of the square. a. axialdisp.cfg: Parameter settings for this problem. b. axialdisp.spatialdb: Boundary condition database for this problem. 2. sheardisp: The left edge of the square is pinned in the x-direction and moved downward in the y-direction, while the right edge is moved upward in the y-direction. a. sheardisp.cfg: Parameter settings for this problem. b. sheardisp.spatialdb: Boundary condition database for this problem. 3. dislocation: Fault displacements are applied between the two triangles, while the lower left and upper right corners are fixed in x and y. a. dislocation.cfg: Parameter settings for this problem. b. dislocation.spatialdb: Boundary condition database for this problem. c. dislocation_disp.spatialdb: Fault slip database for this problem. d. dislocation_sliprate.spatialdb: Fault slip rate database for this problem. e. dislocation_sliptime.spatialdb: Fault slip time database for this problem. All of the files are documented. The 'pylithapp.cfg' file is read automatically when running PyLith. To add to or override these settings, you may place an additional .cfg file on the command line. To run the examples, you can type: pylith axialdisp.cfg pylith sheardisp.cfg pylith dislocation.cfg Each of these commands will produce a corresponding VTK file, which may be viewed with visualization packages such as ParaView or Mayavi. The jpeg files in this directory show results for the different examples visualized using ParaView.
