This diagram, based on the Nadai unit and Lode's parameter was first introduced by J R Hossack in 1968 and was shown to successfully demonstrate the variation of finite strain in the Bygdin conglomerate, Soroy, Norway. It is capable of showing the finite strain ellipsoid shape as well as the magnitude of finite strain.

The program calculates the parameters on the basis of input values of X, Y and Z of deformed objects, tabulates the data and calculates the means. The plot can be completely labeled by entering caption etc. and sent to printer port for printing.
