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).
