Fig. 6From: The role of cellular traction forces in deciphering nuclear mechanicsTransfer mapping from global coordinates to natural coordinates. Representation of transfer mapping of coordinates from global (x and y dimension) coordinates of nodes (E, F, G, H) to natural coordinates (A, B, C, D) using shape factor (η,ε) for finite element modeling and to calculate traction stress and strain from node displacement.
