Dear Dr.Dallas,
Would you mind please sending the article as soon as it's printed? I would appreciate you. Thanks.

Basically, even though anisotropic allows things to structure without constraints to how they want to be, there is some artifacts that drive it too far, beyond what is reasonable and you get severe box distortion and failure. Will be saying a little on that in an upcoming paper ....
