A Fracture, what is it
A fracture in the model is an ensemble of fracture segments that define a consistent plane (mechanical coherence).

A Fracture, what is it
Roughly Planar discontinuity
Resulting from rock failure controlled by physical processes and field conditions
Can be cracks, joints, faults, shear zones, bedding planes
