OOF2: The Manual
Name
Trace (MatrixTrace) — Trace of a symmetric tensor.
Synopsis
MatrixTrace()
Description
Trace is one of the Invariants
of a symmetric three dimensional rank 2 tensor quantity that can be
computed by the OOF2 Outputs. The
trace of a tensor is the sum of its diagonal entries. The trace of
the stress tensor is proportional to the hydrostatic pressure, for
example.
