CSTRAIN NDIV in HDF5

Hello together,

I am performing a non-linear finite element analysis with fiber composite materials. I want to output the strains between the individual layers in an HDF5 file using:

$ CSTRAIN(HDF5,NDIV=2) = YES
 
However, I only get one value written to the HDF5 file per element. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this or has anyone already succeeded in doing this? Thank you very much for any help!

    Hi Raphael,

    CSTRAIN with NDIV greater than 1 is not yet supported for the .hdf5 output but there is a request to include it.  For now you can use the H3D file request CSTRAIN(H3D,NDIV=2) = YES to look at these results.

    Thanks,

    Rob H.
