which is mandatory to describe the stepping of the loading application.</span></div>

I see how to use a SNES in order to solve a certain step of the loading history but I wonder if a TS can be used to deal with the loading history through the definition of this g(t) function ? </div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I believe so. We would want you to formulate it as a differential equation,</div><div><br></div><div> F(x, \dot x, t) = G(x)</div><div><br></div><div>which is your case is easy</div><div><br></div><div> F(x, t) = 0</div><div><br></div><div>so you would just put your function completely into the IFunction. Since there is no \dot x term, this is a DAE,</div><div>and you need to use one of the solvers for that.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg2247495761693931989"><div dir="ltr"><div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Furthermore, since too large load steps can lead to non-convergence, a stepping strategy is almost always required to restart a load step that failed. Does TS offer such a feature ?</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think you can use PETSc adaptation. There is a PID option, which might be able to capture your behavior.</div><div><br></div><div> Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg2247495761693931989"><div dir="ltr"><div>
