Results of a new (v3) geomechanical-numerical model of Germany

The file 'Stress_tensor_Ahlers_et_al_2026.dat' contains the complete stress tensor for each node of the 3D geomechanical model of Germany

Variables: "X Coordinate - UTM 32N [m]" "Y Coordinate - UTM 32N [m]" "Z Coordinate [m]" "XX Stress [Pa]" "YY Stress [Pa]" "ZZ Stress [Pa]" "XY Stress [Pa]" "YZ Stress [Pa]" "ZX Stress [Pa]" "Maximum horizotal stress (SHmax) [MPa]" "Orientation of SHmax (SHazi) [MPa]" "Minimum horizontal stress (Shmin) [MPa]" "Vertical stress (SV) [MPa]"

The first six stresses ('XX Stress' to 'ZX Stress') are given in Pa and negative values indicate compression, the other three stresses(SHmax, Shmin and SV) are given in MPa and negative values indicate tension.

The file 'Modell_geometry_Ahlers_et_al_2026.inp' contains the geometry of the 3D geomechanical model of Germany edited as an Abaqus input-file

The file 'Ahlers_et_al_2026_depth_sections.zip' contains depth sections of the model showing Shmin, SHmax, RSR and the model units
