[petsc-users] degub of computating Jacobian for SNES

Thank you very much, Hong!

With the option, I have got the following output. Any further suggestion on fixing this divergence?

One strange thing is that the Jacobian stiffness matrix include ‘nan’. I output the element stiffness matrix and the element degree of freedom before assembly. There is nothing abnormal. But after assembly by
ierr1 = MatAssemblyBegin(A,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr1);
ierr1 = MatAssemblyEnd(A,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr1);
I got some ‘nan’ in the stiffness matrix A. Any idea on this?

LEI:
Run your code with option '-snes_converged_reason -ksp_converged_reason -ksp_monitor -snes_monitor' to check which solver leads to divergence. Then use option '-snes_view' to check what solver is used.

Dear all

I am using SNES for solving a large nonlinear system for Material Point Method. But it always diverged after server steps, I think there are some bug in the computation of Jacobian matrix. Do anyone have practical approach for identified these bugs in a large matrix? Currently, I saved the matrix to a txt file and load it to Matlab for checking. Is there function for checking Petsc Mat in Petsc itself?

Cheers
Lei
