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.
