I was aware of the fact that 'RICCI' can do a lot of these things. However, I also need to be able to substitute specific things into the components of various tensors, and I do need a system that does automatic dummy relabeling, not like 'RICCI' where the only way (correct me if I'm wrong) seems to perform every substution after explicit relabeling by 'NewDummy' DefineTensor(a,1,Variance->Con) DefineTensor(b,1) c=a[U[i]] b[L[i]] e=NewDummy[c] * Newdummy[c] This is too complicated for the types of formulea I want to process. MathTensor seems to be able to do all these things, but as it is commercial and has a lot of things I really don't need, I'd still like to see something in PD. Thanks for the tip anyway, Kasper
