Strain tensor components in post-processing (Simcenter Samcef)
Strain tensor components ε12, ε13 and ε23 have a different convention when you post-process results in Simcenter 3D versus in the Samcef Bacon post processing tool.
Pre/Post works with γ strain values, while Simcenter Samcef works with ε strain values (γ = 2 * ε).
