Rupture Model
=============
As the scenario calculator does not need to determine the probability of occurrence of the specific rupture, but only
sufficient information to parameterise the location (as a three-dimensional surface), the magnitude and the style-of-
faulting of the rupture, a more simplified NRML structure is sufficient compared to the source model structures
described previously in Source typologies. A rupture model XML can be defined in the following formats:
#. Simple fault rupture
#. Planar and Multi-Planar fault rupture
#. Complex fault rupture
#. Gridded Rupture
Simple Fault Rupture
--------------------
In a *Simple Fault Rupture* model, the geometry is defined by the trace of the fault rupture, the dip and the upper and
lower seismogenic depths. An example is shown in the listing below:

Planar and Multi-Planar Rupture
-------------------------------
In a *Planar or Multi-Planar Rupture* model, the geometry is defined as a collection of one or more rectangular planes,
each defined by four corners. An example of a multi-planar rupture is shown below in the listing below:

Complex Fault Rupture
---------------------
In a *Complex Fault Rupture* model, the geometry is defined by the upper, lower and (if applicable) intermediate edges
of the fault rupture. An example of a complex fault rupture is shown below in the listing below:
.. code-block:: xml

1.5 -1.2 20.0
0.65 -1.7 8.0
1.1 -1.6 15.0
1.5 -1.7 35.0
Gridded Rupture
---------------
In a *Gridded Rupture* the geometry is defined in terms of a GriddedSurface which is a mesh of points.
An example of gridded rupture is shown below in the listing below::
