“Stress map” from DD in “Mummy 3”

Viewing the case study from The Mummy 3 in Gnomon:

http://www.gnomonschool.com/events/mummy/mummy.php

In the "Rise of the Undermummy" (half of the video), into the many CG layers exist a "stress map" (output from Houdini or Syflex/Maya… this is another thread):

– magenta – maybe compression
– cyan – expansion??

What is the purpose of this layers, if used, inside compositing work (in Nuke especially)? Stretching the textures via warping?? Or maybe are for the Event explanation/visualization only.

Thanks in advance.
David.
