Hi
I am working on a challening problem and I want to understand what the solver output is telling me so I can make the appropirate action
Nonlinear solution status: time= 0.000421953
stiffness updates = 3
right hand side evaluations = 22
stiffness matrix reformations = 0
step from line search = 1.000000
convergence norms : --------------------INITIAL------------------ CURRENT ------------------------REQUIRED
residual ____________________2.961815e-04 _______1.199519e-14 ______________0.000000e+00
energy _____________________8.739475e-05_______ 2.733112e-14 ______________8.739475e-07
displacement________________ 3.084308e-04_______ 2.011145e-13______________ 3.081169e-10
fluid pressure ________________2.471547e+02______ 2.204281e-06______________ 3.104763e-02
........................ augmentation # 6
linear constraint set 1:_________ 0.00258934________ 4.72643e-08________________ 2.589292e-09
linear constraint set 2: _________0.00258934________ 4.726472e-08_______________ 2.589292e-09
I often missing convergence from the linear constraint set 2, though in this instance both are over. I am not sure what what the solver is doing here or what I can do about it to help the solver. I understand a lot of this will be problem specific but I am looking to build a bit of general intuition.
Also one thing I am wondering would help is on the stiffness matrix reformulation. I generally have to do this 3+ times a time step and that eats up a lot of time. Is there a way to jump right to 3 reformulation rather than forming one trying to converge and then reformulating.
