Hi all,

Is there a way to get a temperature history for a material point in CEL just like we can get a temperature history for a specific node in lagrangian analysis? I want to track a material point and know temperature variation with time for that material point.

Also, I observed that plastic strains start to decrease after removing the load in CEL especially when boundaries cross the mesh lines or nodes. Is CEL better for constrained boundaries? Is there a way to deal with it? I tried using ALE but I encountered other problems. I will make a different post for it. But I would like to know if there is a way to do it in CEL. Please let me know if you need any information
