EFSM20-Meshes was designed to provide the users of the European Fault-Source Model 2020 (EFSM20) with 3D geometric realizations of the fault sources made by triangular meshes. Triangular meshes are useful for several applications of earthquake modelling that require a discretization of the fault plane, e.g., heterogeneous slip distributions. EFSM20-Meshes was created to fulfil the objectives of the Geo-INQUIRE project and is hosted, maintained, and distributed by INGV through the EDSF installation (https://seismofaults.eu/) operated under the auspices of the EPOS-ERIC, TCS EPOS-Seismology, EFEHR Consortium, and the EPOS-MIUR Joint Research Unit.
