Here I introduce ALLCAL, one of the earthquake simulators being developed by scientists of the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC). This article focuses on aspects that may differentiate ALLCAL from other simulators in the group (Tullis et al. , 2012a). Accordingly, few specific results are included here; however, an accompanying overview paper (Tullis et al. , 2012b) assembles and compares outputs from ALLCAL and other earthquake simulators.
The heart of any earthquake simulator is the calculation of stresses and displacements from many dislocation elements. ALLCAL uses triangular elements in a whole space. Static values of stresses t ( r ) and displacements u ( r ) at receiver position r are given by (Hirth and Lothe, 1982) ![Graphic][1] (1a)where ![Graphic][2] (1b)and ![Graphic][3] (2a)where ![Graphic][4] (2b)
Referencing Figure 1, variable vector and scalar quantities in equations (1a), (1b) and (2a), (2b) are ![Graphic][5] (3)

Geometry of a triangular dislocation.
The symbols μ and υ are rigidity and Poisson’s ratio, respectively, and Δ u = u +− u − is the discontinuity of displacement across the element, with u + measured on the side where ![Graphic][6] is chosen. Ω( r ) in equation (2a) is the solid angle spanned by the element as seen from r . Ω( r ) goes through zero when r passes through the plane of the patch outside of the element. Ω( r ) has a±2 π discontinuity when r passes through the plane of the patch inside of the element. Ω( r ) gives equation (2a) a displacement jump of ![Graphic][7] across the element. The jump Δ u can have both normal and tangential components. The solid angle is found from ![Graphic][8] (4)where ![Graphic][9]
The sign of Ω( r ) is taken to be the same as that of the numerator. Please do not confuse vectors R 1 and R 3 in equation (4) with scalars …
