Sounds good.<br>
<br>
However, here the culprit seems to be vtkTensor, which stores the
data in column. vtkCellDerivatives simply fills a vtkTensor (filling
is storage independent, since one provides the actual components),
and then returns the underlying vector.<br>
<br>
One option would be to make vtkCellDerivatives independent of
vtkTensor.<br>
<br>
But I think it would be better to correct the storage in vtkTensor.
Actually, it seems that vtkTensor is used only in
vtkCellDerivatives, so it would not change the rest of the library.<br>
<br>
Let me know what you would prefer.<br>

<div>I've looked at this a bit more along with others and
unfortunately there's some inconsistency in VTK for tensor
ordering. If you look at the vtkCell::Derivatives()
documentation (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkCell.html#aff3d8332e9d7d556a9d2e9f91173d068">http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkCell.html#aff3d8332e9d7d556a9d2e9f91173d068</a>),
it's using a C/row-major ordering. There's some places in
that have done row-major and others that have done column
major. For the most part it hasn't been an issue since
many/most of the uses of tensor have been symmetric but it
should be fixed regardless.<br>

Would you be willing to go in and make the change to

that class sometime today.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hmm, in fact it does. I was looking at
vtkGradientFilter instead of vtkCellDerivatives for the
ordering of the output of the gradient of a vector. I
think the output order is supposed to be
fortran/column-major ordering like vtkCellDerivatives
instead of C/row-major ordering like vtkGradientFilter.
Well, you can see the confusion that crops up and maybe
that's why vtkTensors was done that way. In any case, let
me verify for sure which way is correct and get back to
you on this.<br>

Well, I might be wrong but I'm under the
impression that vtkCellDerivatives returns
[du/dx, dv/dx, dw/dx, du/dy, dv/dy, ...]. Am I
wrong?<span><font color="#888888"><br>

I haven't looked closely enough at
vtkTensors (I don't know if I even
knew about it before today) but
indeed the ordering output in
vtkCellDerivatives for a velocity
vector {u,v,w} needs to be [du/dx,
du/dy, du/dz, dv/dx, dv/dy, ...]
like you have it. I'm not sure when
vtkTensors is ordered the way it is.<br>

I need to clarify something: the
Derivatives function of vtkCell
objects returns a derivs vector
containing the components of the
gradient of some vector field
defined at the cell nodes; the
components are ordered in row (as
usually in C, i.e., (0,0), (0,1),
(0,2), (1,0), (1,1), (1,2), (2,0),
(2,1), (2,2)). Now in the
CellDerivatives filter the derivs
vector is used to fill a
vtkTensors, and then the filter
returns the internal vector
storing the data of the
vtkTensors. However, the
components of the vtkTensors are
ordered in column (as usually in
fortran, i.e., (0,0), (1,0),
(2,0), (0,1), (1,1), (2,1), (0,2),
(1,2), (2,2)). Is it on purpose
that the vtkTensors store their
data in column and not in row?
Isn't it a little dangerous to mix
both storage in the code? Thanks
for the clarification!<span><font

Thanks for following
up on this. I found
the merge request now
and will look at this.
In general, developers
should request others
to do a code review on
this. This can be done
via something like
"@acbauer please
review this" or
sending an email on
this VTK list with a
link to the merge

In GitLab the merge

What about
simply adding
another mode,
e.g.
SetTensorModeToComputeGreenLagrangeStrain,
to the
vtkCellDerivatives
filter? Would
the attached
patch make
sense?<br>

Changing the
name of the
SetTensorModeToComputeStrain
method to
something else
would break
backward
compatibility
which is
generally
avoided in
VTK. Other
options for
this include
deriving a
class to
compute
non-linear
strain from
vtkCellDerivatives
if it shares
enough of the
algorithm with
the linearized
version or
maybe just
creating a new
filter.<br>

I realize that
the
vtkCellDerivatives
filter, when
SetTensorModeToComputeStrain
is activated,
returns the
symmetric part
of the
gradient of
the input
vector field,
which is the
linearized
strain tensor,
i.e., not a
proper measure
of deformation
when large
displacements
are involved.
Would that
make sense to
have two
different
modes,
SetTensorModeToComputeLinearizedStrain

SetTensorModeToComputeSymmetricGradient,
and
SetTensorModeToComputeStrain
or
SetTensorModeToComputeGreenLagrangeStrain?
