 PETSc developers have better idea on this.</p>

<div>Hello PetSc users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1)  I have problem with SNES convergence. I call SNESSolve  in a time loop and use the inbuilt Jacobian feature. The code works fine for about 5380 time steps after which it breaks down. The solution till that point looks fine. I have used newtonls of
 type l2. (newtontr and others aren't working). Since I have used <span>inbuilt Jacobian feature and the code worked for about 5000 time steps I don't understand the reason for failure, is it an incorrect function evaluation?  Attached are the outputs with
 -pc_type lu and ilu along with -snes_linesearch_type l2 -snes_converged_reason -snes_monitor -snes_view -ksp_converged_reason -ksp_monitor_true_residual</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>2)  How to get hold of failure signal, like Nonlinear solve <span>DIVERGED_MAX_IT or
<span>DIVERGED_LINEAR_SOLVE so that whenever it occurs I can use a reduced time step and see if the code converges.</span></span></span></div>
<div><span><span><span><br>
</span></span></span></div>
<div><span><span><span>Thank you,</span></span></span></div>
