Mesh_Chunk_Par_file in "new" SPECFEM3D #1478

Open SeismoFelix opened 2 years ago

SeismoFelix commented 2 years ago

I've tried to install SPECFEM3D to another computer and I noticed that the newest version (maybe now it is not so new) has some differences from the one I learned to use (eg., a Q kappa and Q mu instead of a single Q in the Mesh Par File, etc.). Once I installed the "new" SPECFEM3D and modified the Par_file and Mesh_Par_file according to the "new" SPECFEM3D, I tried to reproduce one simulation I did on the old version and I failed. Running the xmeshfem3D binary file I got the message:

**ERROR : not implemented system :

Done creating a chunk of the earth Mesh (HEX8 elements), see directory MESH/**

I do not understand what that message means. I noticed that after failing, the new SPECFEM3D creates a file named Mesh_Chunk_Par_File in /DATA/meshfem3D_files/. Such file is empty and I do not see any reference to such file in the manual.

Just for summarizing, in the Par_file MODEL is set to "default" since I am using the model parameters described by mesh properties (I do not have a xyz file).

Thank you for your help.
