[Getfem-users] initial strains in structural analysis

[Julien Sylvestre]

Hello,
   I'm very impressed by the quality of the getfem++ library. However, 
I've been trying without success to solve a linear elasticity problem 
where thermal strains are present. Given the coefficient of thermal 
expansion of a material and a range of temperature variation, how do I 
generate a brick to implement the thermal strain the material would 
actually develop?

Thanks,
J.
