alternative implementations of gauss?

[saosebastiao]

Hi, I've just read your papers for this project and it seems really interesting. I'd like to be able to reproduce and potentially try some models of my own, but I'm having trouble with the gauss dependency. I bought a matlab license and I've tried playing around with the gauss build system, but I cannot get the library to build at all. Are there alternative implementations anywhere that could be used? Even if they are slower or less optimal?

Sorry, I know this isn't an active project and that you've moved on to other things, but I find this really interesting and would love to be able to play with it more.

Hi!

Thanks for your interest in this work. Unfortunately, I don't have a ready-made solution to replace GAUSS, but we only use it for the fairly standard task of computing the stress field. For a MATLAB-friendly replacement, you could try playing with Bartels, the successor to GAUSS that my co-author @dilevin wrote.

If you can replace GAUSS with Bartels, I will be very happy to review and incorporate a PR.
