Hi All,

    I am seeking some advice regarding matrix multiplication in scirun. I have
performed some external simulations of electric fields and am using scirun
for visualisation. So, what I have is an array of points and the accompanying
hex definition file to define the mesh, the solution at the node points and the
anisotropic conductivity at the node points. I have found that I can read in the
solution and subsequently obtain the gradient of the solution at the node points.

    My question is, can I read in the conductivity matrix and multiply this by the
array of gradients to obtain the current? The conductivity matrix is Nx6 (one row
for each of the N node points) and, since the conductivity matrix is symmetric,
has rows of the form

    a11 a12 a13 a22 a23 a33

Hence the current vector at any node should be the matrix-vector product of this
matrix (expanded to 3x3) at this node and the gradient vector calculated at the node.
Is such a manipulation possible in scirun?

    Thanks for your help,

        Peter Johnston.
