Re: EigenDecomposition wrapper problem

 

if numerical recipes, numpy and eigen give the same result, we can have some confidence with this result.
It means that Wm3 result is "less good".
However, I don't know where eigen values and vectors are needed in yade (maybe for the computation of inertia?).

I don't know if my comments help (sorry), but all I can say is that eigenvalues from Wm3 seems correct but unordered, and eigenvectors seems not well converged (maybe it is not a problem)
