<div id=":4tl">You mention in your first email that checking for NAN is due to your<br>
timestep; perhaps an alternative route would be to use the newer TS<br>
code which has some adaptive options, namely:<br>
<br>
-ts_max_snes_failures <1>: Maximum number of nonlinear solve<br>
failures (TSSetMaxSNESFailures)<br>
-ts_max_reject <10>: Maximum number of step rejections before step<br>
fails (TSSetMaxStepRejections)<br>
-ts_adapt_dt_min <1e-20>: Minimum time step considered (TSAdaptSetStepLimits)<br>
-ts_adapt_dt_max <1e+50>: Maximum time step considered (TSAdaptSetStepLimits)<br>
-ts_adapt_scale_solve_failed <0.25>: Scale step by this factor if<br>
solve fails ()</div></blockquote></div><br><div>These options are only relative to SNESConvergedReason. The "problem" is that PetscError is being called. If NaN arising in the solver is not an "error", just a "did not converge", then we can't be calling PetscError.</div>
