Long-term seismic activity is simulated using a 3D model of interacting faults presented in Part I of this paper. It is show that the system can generate complex behavior, with earthquakes of all sizes, characteristic earthquake cycles with features changing from one cycle to another, and interrelations between local quantities in qualitative agreement with laboratory data. By comparison of a single, two distant and two close fault behavior the role of fault interactions is studied. Interactions with a secondary fault, despite its low activity, change patterns of seismicity generated by the system.
