Hi, if I get the incremental displacement in the normal direction as dU(t+dt) = U(t+dt)-U(t) where U(t+dt) and U(t) are total formulation, it is fine or should I take into account the rotation of the normal? (btw, it is the incremental formulation that will permit me to calculate the potential elastic energy for the non linear elastic Hertz formulation in the normal direction..) thanks, Chiara > > Cheers, v. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: > https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev<https://launchpad.net/%7Eyade-dev> > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : > https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev<https://launchpad.net/%7Eyade-dev> > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp >
