This is clear, but if you want to precompute, you have to place the data somewhere. There is no place for ScGeom for total strain, so from this perspective it just adds memory place that Dem3DofGeom will be uselessly dragging along. 

Still I don't see what was the goal state you had in mind when doing that. I don't see what it improves and where is it supposed to lead.
