I think just 6 goals will do, since shear stresses will be (in equilibirum) symmetric.

You would just need ex=ey && ex=ez && sx=sig/3. Plus one condition for strain rate, which is the fourth, time DOF. I actually wanted to have one big system (matrix) and then eliminate columns corresponding to given goals (which would move to RHS) etc, but that will need incremental formulation, and a few thoughts how to handle absolute goals in that case... > This is why I implemented cell inertia.

Yes, unless I misunderstand what you mean ;-) v _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
