hello ,do everyone know how to run openxfem++ in windows 7 or xp?

Dear Colleagues,

In the literature two definitions of incompressible solid can be found. The first one is: Poisson's ratio =0.5, and the second is: the  third invariant of the Cauchy-Green deformation tensor J=1. I wish to understand the connections between these two definitions. To me, here is something strange.  Poisson's ratio relates strains to stresses,and J as the combination of strain tensor components, doesn't depend on Poisson's ratio. I'll be grateful to you, if you explain me how these two definitions are connected.

hello , in paper :An object-Oriented approach to the xfem with Appications to fracture mechanics, in page172, the matlab code :mshmlab.m.

when i run the code mshmlab.m , this problem occured:

 ???Maxmium recursion limit of 500 reached, when i set(0,'recursionlimit',N).N=5000. the matlab crashed,

how to address this issue? 

The Hydraulic Fracture group, which is part of CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering is seeking to appoint a Senior Research Scientist to join our world class research team. Working closely with international researchers and industry, CSIRO is pioneering new hydraulic fracturing applications for mining, geothermal  and unconventional reservoirs.
