Hi,

Im having trouble to define new tensors in xPand other than the metric and matter fields.
I need to define a tensor which satisfies exactly the properties of tensors defined with DefProjectedTensor (i.e. traceless, transverese and symmetric) and this I can do.

After I do this I have to contract this tensor with the Riemann tensor and expand the expression just in the metric to first order but the classical "ExpandPerturbation" doesn't work with tensors defined like mine.

How may i solve this problem? 
Thank you

Alice
