No. It is a documented limitation, but something we would like to improve in the future. Documentation says: “Important: Mechanical maps every individual tensor by direct interpolation of individual components. This is numerically the simplest method but is physically inconsistent especially in nonlinear solid mechanics applications. See the Recommendations and Guidelines for Mapping of Initial Stress and Strain Data section for more information.” See SR for additional information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-162134","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4425","topic-tag-external-data-import","topic-tag-materials","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-plasticity","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
