Troubleshooting (2D)#

This set of examples demonstrations how to troubleshoot PyLith simulations. We consider Steps 1 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.

viz:

Directory containing ParaView Python scripts and other files for visualizing results.

output:

Directory containing simulation output. It is created automatically when running the simulations.
