Hi FEBio users/developers.
I am currently looking for a way to output custom variables using FEBio's logfile functionality. For example, let's say that there is a fiber bundle going in the direction V. Then, assuming that the bundle deforms affinely with the underlying material, the direction of the bundle after deformation should be v=FV, and its stretch should be lambda = sqrt(V*CV).
The above can be easily calculated using FEBio's plugin functionality by deriving FEElasticMaterialPoint class. However, it seems that there is no way to output these custom variables v and lambda to a log file or plot file. Is there any good way to do this? The above is a simple example, but in future I would like to output more complex parameters, such as fiber stretch in a certain direction, stretch rate, spherical distribution, etc, after deformation.
Thanks!
Yusuke
