The dataset contains 3D geometries of tectonic faults in Germany as mesh data. There are three fault sets:

• Vertical fault set: Vertical_Fault_Set
• Andersonian fault set containing: Andersonian_Normal_Faults, Andersonian_Thrust_Faults and Andersonian_Strike_Slip_Faults
• Semi-Realistic fault set containing: Semi_Realistic _Normal_Faults, Semi_Realistic_Thrust_Faults and Semi_Realistic _Strike_Slip_Faults

The three fault sets are of increasing complexity, however their accuracy is limited due to the large scale and the sparse availability of reference data.

The data sets are given as .txt files that can be imported to Tecplot EX 2019 using the freely available AddOn GeoStress.
If the files should be opened using Hypermesh or used as an input file for Abaqus the following edits have to be made:

• The data type has to be changed to .inp
• The Line *NAME has to be deleted
• The document must end with ***** instead of **
