Version 3.2.3 is mainly a bug fix version of the 3.2 series.

This version was released along with Version 3.1.5 and inherits from all the fixes of this version.

Noticeable fixed issues that may affect the results obtained with previous versions

Ticket #256 reported that the scalar product of two unsymmetric tensors was not properly computed.

This may affect single crystal finite strain computations to a limited extent, as the Mandel stress tensor is almost symmetric.

Issues solved

Ticket #249: Implementation of the Norton-Hoff in the StandardElastoViscoPlasticity brick may lead to negative equivalent plastic strain increment

The implementation of the Norton-Hoff flow rule in the StandardElastoViscoPlasticity brick may in some exceptional cases lead to negative equivalent plastic strain increment. This was checked by the brick and led to a divergence of the Newton algorithm, so this flaw could not induce wrong results.

Ticket #242: The factor in front of the hyperbolic sine is discarded when using the HyperbolicSine inelastic flow

The optional factor in in front of the hyperbolic sine was not generated when using the HyperbolicSine inelastic flow.

Ticket #228: Many stress criteria of the StandardElastoViscoplasticity brick fail when compiling in C++-17

Ticket #222: Handling stored and dissated energies is broken in MTest for Abaqus/Standard behaviours

There were a bug in MTest in the Abaqus/Standard behaviours which didn’t reinitialize the values of the stored and dissipated energies at the end of the time step to their values at the beginning of the time step before the behaviour integration.

Thus, the dissipated and stored energies, when computed incrementally, are the sums of their increments at each iterations.

Ticket #203: Cyranointerface: compilation process hangs when treating behaviours based on the Hencky strain measure inAxisymmetricalGeneralizedPlaneStress`

The trouble came from an infinite loop when looking for the external state variable holding the axial stress.
