    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Matt,<br>
      <br>
      That's right. The FormMassTimeStep() is inside the FormFunction()
      and I call the FormFunction() in this way:
      SNESSetFunction(user->snes, algebra->f, FormFunction,
      (void*)user). How can I know the X is read-only or not? <br>
      <br>
      If I do not use the SNESSolve, that is I use the explicit method
      with the same function FormMassTimeStep(), this error disappeared.
      So it seems that the SNESSolve locked the vector X. <br>
      <br>
      Best regards,<br>
