Troubleshooting (2D)#
This set of examples demonstrations how to troubleshoot PyLith simulations.
We consider Steps 1a and 6 from examples/reverse-2d and introduce errors into the parameter files and spatial databases.
We illustrate how to dissect a variety of error messages, strategies for diagnosing errors, and the resolution.
The files are in the directory examples/troubleshooting-2d.
The files and directories for this set of examples includes:
README.md:README file containing a brief description of the various examples.
*.cfg:PyLith parameter files.
*.msh:Gmsh finite-element mesh files generated by Gmsh.
*.spatialdb:Spatial database filesFiles associated with the spatial databases.
output:Directory containing simulation output. It is created automatically when running the simulations.
