How to prevent fault sliding in geostatic step?

05 March 2018 1 3K Report

Hi guys!

I'm modeling with abaqus. The model includes four faults. I want to know how should I prevent fault sliding in the geostatic step?

Is it OK to use tie constraint or it's better to use boundary conditions?

Thanks!

Sadiq Shamsher

Tie may introduce a unacceptable displacement in geostatic step. You can apply boundary condition and later you can deactivate it in next stage.
