Notes:

• Only one of the two options is required to define the elasticity: bulk modulus \(K\) and shear modulus \(G\), or, Young’s modulus \(E\) and Poisson’s ratio \(\nu\). When choosing the latter, Young’s modulus \(E\) must be assigned in advance of Poisson’s ratio \(\nu\).
• Only one of the three options is required to define the orientation of the weakness plane: dip and dip-direction; a norm vector (\(n_x, n_y, n_z\)); or, three norm components: \(n_x\), \(n_y\), and \(n_z\).
• The tension cut-off is \({\sigma}^t = min({\sigma}^t, c/\tan \phi)\).
• The joint tension limit used in the model is the minimum of the input \(\sigma^t\) and \({c_j}/{\tan \phi_j}\).
• The tension table and flag-brittle should not be active at the same time.

Advanced properties have default values and do not require specification for simpler applications of the model.

Read only properties cannot be set by the user. However, they may be listed, plotted, or accessed through FISH.
