A Lagrangian approach is assumed, which means that the advection/convection term disappears I don't think this is what Lagrangian approach means; for example, in a large deformation problem, if one takes the Eulerian solution approach, they cannot ignore the convection term, yet the final solution should be equivalent to that obtained through the Lagrangian approach.

Hi @alishayegh, I am reviewing open issues. I think we can close this one. Large and small deformations can be equivalently viewed from either a Lagrangian or Eulerian perspective. From a Lagrangian perspective, no advection term exists (as we track the mass/particles), whereas an advection arises when adopting an Eulerian perspective as material flows past our observation region/point.

The text on the website certainly does not explain this in detail but, for me, it is not wrong (albeit it may be a bit simple). Nonetheless, feel free to suggest alternative text, if you prefer.
