Need help regarding Amplification factor

[vikasrajisro]

Dear all
I am using CMT solution as source in source file
Mxx = 1.3437361320914318 X 10^16 #N-m
Mzz = -4.177076427989025 X 10^16 #N-m
Mxz = 8.771237000918445 X 1o^15 # N-m

I am bit confused how to used Amplification factor ( in what amout).
if i used A = 1.0 d10 get the very large ampitude.

It will be great if someone suggest how to tackle the issue.
Thanks

If you use the actual values for Mxx, Mzz, and Mxz, you should use an amplification factor of 1.0.

Thanku for quick consideration of my issue.
I go through as you suggested that is (the value used for Mxx Mzz Mxz used is actual ) and amplification factor 1.0
but still amplitude is not realistic

,
plz suggest
