      Yes, the problem is finite elasticity.  I re-ran the problem with
    the options table and output shown below.  It converges now<br>
    based on the residual tolerance test (KSPConvergedReason == 2); note
    I am using Using Petsc Release Version 3.7.0, Apr, 25, 2016.<br>
    Seems to work now with these options; wish I understood what they
    all meant!<br>
