Kinematic/Dynamic source parameter modeling/inversion

Calculate subfault dislocations from tractions with Okada half-space equation

In this example we create a OkadaSource and compute the spatial quasi-static dislocation field caused by a traction field. The linear relation between traction and dislocation is calculated based on Okada (1992) [1].
