Dear VTK users:
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 or
SetTensorModeToComputeSymmetricGradient, and
SetTensorModeToComputeStrain or
SetTensorModeToComputeGreenLagrangeStrain? Thanks!
Martin
