Hello Bangerth,

The terms N_* are the resultant forces in the * direction and these forces
are calculated using the strains which in turn are calculated using the
displacements u. So the terms N_* are not constants, rather change with
each element. And these values directly depend on u.

Thank you.

Regards,
Ramprasad
