Have you looked at the hyperelasticity demo?

I am obviously not up to date. Curently I am running release 0.9.4. Have to check my OS as well. My demos are old and hyperelasticity does not exist. Could you just mail the code to <email address hidden> ? Thanks beforehand, Achim.

Done.

I still appreciate any help to set up function spaces to automatically differentiate and solve a nonlinear system of the following type:
dot(h*grad(s), grad(phi))*dx + f*phi*dx = 0
dot(s*grad(h), grad(psi))*dx + g*psi*dx = 0
Unknowns are u=(s,h), while (f,g) are given.
Best, Achim

Example attached. (The example is just made up, so the Newton solver
does not converge and so the answer is just rubbish, but it should
illustrate how to go about.)

You are probably particularily interested in line 25.

It's best to start a new question when the topic changes.

Thank you Marie, you solved my problem.
For convergence (in my context) I had to put a "u" into the solver:
(s, h) = pde.solve(u).split()
