Abstract
This paper discusses the implementation of the "splitting nodes" technique in the MSC.Marc soft ware. Adopt this technique, coseismal displacements resulted from strike-slip fault are calculated and compared with the analytic solutions. The technique described here offers a simple and efficient method of introducing faults into finite element computations, and can be implemented in other FEM soft through the user subroutine.
