Hi,

I know Abaqus reports engineering strain (i.e., nominal strain, or "NE"), and log strain ("LE"). but I wonder if it reports Lagrangian strain as well? I tried to search its documentation, but didn't find any relevant information.

Just for comparison, LS-DYNA, another FE software package, does report Lagrangian strain.

Thanks very much!
