This example illustrates the core features and scientific principles of StructureSolver structural modeling, and shows how simply you can model an extensional growth fault.

The example includes the following steps:

• Interpret a fault with a single convex bend
• Add series of undeformed structural surfaces
• Stretch growth sequence on hangingwall
• Identify active axial surface, growth axial surface and oldest inactive axial surface
• Animate structural model
• Modify fault shape to make fault bend convex, with active axial surface automatically changing from antithetic to synthetic
• Identify active axial surface, growth axial surface and oldest inactive axial surface
• Animate structural model
• Add more fault points to produce curvilinear fault trajectory and realistic rollover geometry
• Animate structural model
