Fault behavior documentation
I think fault behavior is not documented very well. e.g. displacement, throw, heave ....
Yes, we agree. We are in the middle of a re design (you can take a sneak peek in the new structure branch) to make everything much more robust and modular. But if you go through the pain of understand it, please feel free to contribute!
Thank you Leguark for your response.
Would you please provide an estimate when this may be available. This will help me a lot to plan other tools development that could depend on Gempy.
The new design should be in pre realse in a month or so. Better documentation is a never ending task and without the help of the community is close to impossible. Regarding complex faulting structures it is still in a quite early stage of the development curve (that is why the documentation is still lacking) and we do not a specific responsible person working actively on it.
May I ask what are you planning to do exactly to see how can we better help?
Thank you Leguark for the update. I am working on some seismic inversion work and need to represent fault properties correctly in the model (throw, heave, ....). For building model, I am trying to start using Gempy. Gempy is a great choice and I think this would be much more famous in near future due to many factors one of which python popularity these days. Not to forget Gempy great functionality :)
Great to hear! Right now we have in a bigger or lesser extent: infinite faults, faults network and rather simple finite faults. Hopefully in the following weeks we will have a decent documentation of them.
But to get faults up to speed, we will need a PhD student centered on them. So if anybody has time and does not know what to do with it please contact me! :smile:
