Play the videos together and observe the differences around the area of the cross-faults area. The value "S" stands for "seismic parameter", the ratio of strength excess over the expected stress drop. Low S means higher tendency for rupture than high S. For example in model N2S-S2.0-X0.45 the cross faults are pre-stressed at a higher level (S=0.45) than the main faults (S=2.0). Note: for a better viewing experience use "Settings>Quality>1080p HD".
