Should I prescribe Dijkl to each vertex like the prestress, or only need to prescribe to each element?

Besides, if using strain = pb.evaluate('ev_cauchy_strain.2.Omega(u)', mode='el_avg'), the shear value in strain is sigma_xy or 2*sigma_xy?

So eta is a known function of position? This can be done by a material
parameter given by a user-defined function again [1], just like you do the
prestress.

The function would be something like:

def get_d(ts, coors, mode=None, **kwargs):
     if mode == 'qp':
         x = coors[:, 0]
         y = coors[:, 1]

         value = ...

         return {'D' : value}

and in the code, use something like:

d_fun = Function('d_fun', get_d)
m = Material('m', function=d_fun)

Also, if you need to work with the elastic tensors, use dw_lin_elastic term
instead of dw_lin_elastic_iso.
