Graphic overview of the D-IFM. A total number of 16   236 SOC:i, j (i = 1,2,...,7, j = 0,1,2,...,j_max, j_max = 16   235) sequence groups are created by advancing the previous group through the S-IFM for 50 additional avalanches (vertical direction). Each group is then provided as input to the D-IFM (horizontal direction). Event duration, flare peak, and total energies are accumulated in the database from all D-IFM runs.
