[Libmesh-users] Keeping Initial and Current Mesh for Deformation Gradient

2011-12-01 Thread Yusuke Sakamoto
Hi, I am working on the problem with large deformation, where the mesh is updated (deformed) at each time step quasi-statically. It means that I solve for velocities at each time step and use that to compute displacements. Deforming the mesh is easy. I only had to map every node to new configu
