Dear all,
I am trying to simulate a very simple case with the solidDisplacementFoam solver. In the outputs you can find Stress tensor and Displacment. But what I actually need is the strain tensor. I would like to know if there is a way so I can get the strain tensor as an output or post-processing calculation with foamCalc.

I know I can just simple write a code to calculate the strain following the equation: "epsilon=0.5*(grad(U)+(grad(U))^T)". But I wonder it can be done simpler than this.

best regards.
