Dear all,

The TesselationWrapper is able to compute deformation from given chronological 
states/positions of a packing. Though it writes particle-based strain tensors 
to in vtk format and returns the average strain (sym_grad_u), I didn't find a 
way to save the strain in Matrix3 format so that I can compute the deviatoric 
part.

An alternative way is to triangulate the packing (Regular/Delaunay) following 
Bagi's method such that the products would be similar to what 
TesselationWrapper produces. The Delaunay triangulation can be easily imported 
from scipy [1], but the regular triangulation [2] looks more preferable because 
it is also used in Yade. Unfortunately I don't know how to import it to Yade.

Is it possible to save the average strain returned from the TesselationWrapper? 
If not, could anyone tell me how to import the regular triangulation package to 
Yade without touching the source code?
