Bruno, Side comment on (1) : it will need to change the behaviour of setTrsf one day if we really want to uncouple trsf and Hsize. For instance, one could like to type trsf=identity after a deformation process (i.e. after some iterations) in order to set the current state as the reference for

Hi Bruno! On a different aspect, there is maybe one thing you are not aware of. In unloading, you will unload plasticaly (maybe that is what you want? - honestly I don't think it makes less sense in the case of rolling friction). If you want to unload elasticaly, you need to record the
