Description

Changed
  • Update PETSc to 3.23.5
  • Use the VTU (XML) format for VTK files instead of the legacy ASCII format.
Added
  • Improved documentation for `pylith_eqinfo` and illustrate use in `examples/strikdslip-2d`, `examples/crustal-strikeslip-2d`, and `examples/crustal-strikeslip-3d`.
  • Improved the organization of the governing equations section and added documentation for poroelasticity with prescribed fault slip, including governing equations and default PETSc solver settings. Also added a full-scale test.
Fixed
  • Account for processes without cells in initial condition patch when verifying configuration.
  • Avoid divide by zero for `KinSrcRamp` when final slip is zero.
  • Remove `solid_bulk_modulus` as a spatial database field for poroelasticity; compute it from the other fields.
  • Fixed typos in setting up gravity with poroelasticity.
  • Update default solver settings for poroelasticity and faults.
  • Fix pythia import in `pylith_eqinfo`.
