The visualization of REV

[tianya]

Dear Sir:
Under the help pf FEAP Group I have finally compiled the FE^2 program. However, after running the test file in fe2, I have several question to ask.
(1) How to show the deformation and stress of REV? Can FEAP do it.
(2)I see there are a directory named as Paraview. Does that mean we can export the result to the vtk files?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,

Currently there is no direct way to view the RVE during the solution.  If you can output the strain or deformation gradient you are getting you can run the RVE and view using the HILL option with PERIodic inputs.  We hope to add the direct viewing soon but there is still development needed to implement.
