[CIG-SHORT] Pylith stress output

[Charles Williams]

Dear Teng,

The components correspond to xx, yy, and xy — see Table 5.2 in the manual.  Also, it is probably more reasonable to use HDF5 output rather than VTK output.

Cheers,
Charles

Three normal stress in x, y, z directions? However I think we should also have shear stress in the plane. So how to output all the stress components?
