Re: [Libmesh-users] ContinuationSystem example

[Vasileios V. <va...@gm...>]

Thanks John for the message. I am aware of your contribution in that end, however, I was wondering if there was any progress with that class to any other physics problem.

However, I would appreciate sharing your code, which (after reviewing to understand more about the class and its implementation) I would like to use in both developing the code for my problem and, also, preparing a simple example code in elastostatics (a network of trusses maybe?).

cheers,
Vasileios

I should really add a libmesh example that demonstrates its use as well, but I'm not sure when I would have time to do it.
