Is there any reason why SymmetricTensor <3, dim> does not exist?
This is, I thought, fairly straightforward to implement; which I
would like to since I am using one almost every day at the
moment, just not computationally yet... ;-)
The documnentation states: Note that symmetric tensors only exist with
even numbers of indices. In other words, the only objects that you can
use are SymmetricTensor<2,dim>, SymmetricTensor<4,dim>, etc, but
SymmetricTensor<1,dim> and SymmetricTensor<3,dim> do not exist and
their use will most likely lead to compiler errors.
Why? Or should I just try it out and figure it out myself from there?
I am curious if there is a reason why this does not exist, that I do
not know about?
Either way thanks to the author of SymmetricTensor <2 and 4, dim>; this
function cleans up my thoughts and my code to no end!
Cheers.
Best,
Toby
