gempy: Over-extension of the fault models
Hello! I have been using Gempy and it had worked great so far!
I have successfully constructed a series of fault models, but a problem has arisen at the moment, due to the large extent of my study area and the fact that different faults are located in different areas, I have set up a large range of models to ensure that my orientation data and observations are included as much as possible.
However, this has led to a problem where the modeled faults have extended themselves to a certain extent, and faults have intersected that should not have intersected in the first place. I’m wondering if there is a way to solve this problem - how to construct multiple faults at large regional scales and have them not over-extend, and only construct the parts that have data.
I’d appreciate any help/hints what path to follow next! Thanks in advance!

Alright, it doesn’t seem to be quite what I was expecting. I wanted to achieve a clipping of the fracture model itself and not just change the appearance of the fracture, in other words, I wanted to build truly finite faults. Anyway, thank you very much for your help, and if you have any new ideas about the construction of finite faults please feel free to contact me, thanks!😃
Okay. Thank you very much. I’ll try an updated version as soon as I can.
short question: This only affects the visual presentation of the fault plane, right? Not the distortion of the scalar field, i.e. the displacement caused by the fault? We could think of directly implementing this in gempy instead of gemgis and use it if a user sets the fault to
finite.
