Hi!

For my research I use deforming networks. I have a set of grabens that are located in the interior of a continental block. I restore the deformation of the grabens and though that I now the total extension of the continental block.  
Then I create a deforming network with the boundaries of the continental block as boundaries of the network and the normal faults bounding the grabens as interior. Then, I would like to create a deforming mesh whereby each individual point moves with respect to its position relative to the boundary _and_ the interior structures. However, the points only move according to the motion of the boundaries and not the interior structures.

Question: can I reconstruct the points using both the motion of the boundary and the motion of the interior parts of the network?

Many thanks!  
Thomas

Already solved the issue: the velocity threshold was set too high!
