Class <<FeatureType>> FaultSystem (extends ShearDisplacementStructure)

A composite structure that is an aggregation of genetically related instances of Faults and/or DuctileShearStructures. A FaultSystem is composed of individually identified and mapped Faults and/or DuctileShearStructures that are considered distinct ShearDisplacementStructures, that generally form overlapping, anastomosing patterns in which, at any point along the fault system, multiple fault strands are identified and each considered important at the scale of description. Displacement and other descriptive data may be assigned at the 'fault segment', 'fault', or 'fault system level'.
