absorbing boundary problem in Mount_stHelens

[HakunanMatatat]

hi
In the Mount_stHelens example, in the generated mesh, only face_topo and face-abs_bottom have data, while the other four faces have no data. What's going on?

no worries - Hakuna Matata :) let's just eat some bugs. and thanks for pointing this one out, i like a crunchy bite.

when importing GEOCUBIT boundary_definition routines, they use some internal tolerance values to detect the absorbing surfaces. these tolerance values have been set to some smaller values in the past, having non-destructive testing examples in mind. as you found out, this won't work anymore with the Mount St.Helens example. let me update the corresponding scripts a bit and submit a fix soon - many thanks.

hi Daniel, Have you started fixing it yet? I tried to change some parameters in boundary_definition.py but failed.
