[Question #697432]: Why doesn't the strain equal to zero

 

New question #697432 on Yade:

 I use the O.cell.trsf=Matrix3.Identity to set the current cell configuration to be the reference one, but when I use print(O.cell.trsf, triax.strain) to print the current strain, the strain matrix is not equal to zero, this is my code:

this is my code:
