For the moment this kind of strategy has not been tested.

there is an exemple of small strain isotropic perfect plasticity in
tests/plasticity.cc

Finite deformation is working (for any element) : see
tests/nonlinear_elastostatic.cc

The incompressibility is taken into account in tests/nonlinear_elastostatic.cc
with a mixed method.

Well, Getfem is a finite element library, so you have to do a lot of things by
yourself. If you understand well the brick system you can build multiphysic
problem very fast but this means writing some new bricks ... or at least new
assembly procedures.

not special tools hve been developped to solve the transport equation.
