Dear GetFEM++ users,

In the context of solving a linear elasticity problem, is there a way to
extract the linear operator that converts displacement into strain tensor?
For example, if there are n nodes, we would have a displacement vector of
size 3*n, if the strain tensors are reshaped into a 6*n vector (assuming
isotropic material), I would like to build the 6*n x 3*n matrix that
convert displacement into strain.

I have tried a finite difference approach where strain is written as the
symmetric gradient of displacement, and the gradient of displacement is
approximated by finite difference.  However, this does not yield the same
result as the stress tensor computed in src/getfem/getfem_derivatives.h

Thanks!

James
