Hello Dario,

Thank you for your reply, we don't use Eigen::SparseLU solver but 
chrono::MINRES solver (and also chrono::APGD) with smooth contact and 
 Euler Implicit Linearized time stepper. With this configuration, the 
chrono demos we tested, like demo_FEA_dynamics, work fine. The errors we 
encounter is only when we run demos with new objects (classes) derived from 
Chrono (in the FRyDoM API). 

Maybe this error is linked to the EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW method 
that we don't define as a public method in all our classes ? Related to 
this issue : 
https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__TopicStructHavingEigenMembers.html.

 We are wondering if the CPU time saving provided by the SIMD option is 
limited to certain solvers or application cases only, in order to know if 
we should use it.
