Hi,
Could I also add to my earlier question the following: Is it also
possible to get access to the derivatives of the local coordinates
with respect to the global ones? This might be a tricky issue for
curved geometries, since tensorial components might be used, but it
will be helpful.
I have the following problem: If I know the sensitivity of the
elementary points with respect to some parameter alpha, then I would
like to calculate the sensitivity of the global nodal coordinates with
respect to this parameter.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Regards,
Manav
