Nonlinear system keywords and slave solvers

[spacedout]

Hi

I was thinking more specifically about

Nonlinear System Newton After Iterations
Nonlinear System Newton After Tolerance
Nonlinear System Relaxation Factor
Nonlinear System Divergence Limit

If I need to use any of the above, should they be specified in the master solver section of the SIF or individually in each of the called slave solver sections ? My master solver does not actually perform any solving of linear systems. It just does a loop with count equal to number of non linear iterations and then calling DefaultInitialize() and checking for the residual norm against the convergence tolerance.

So of course, keywords

Nonlinear System Max Iterations
Nonlinear System Convergence Tolerance

have to put into the master solver section.

Have a nice week-end

Hi

I think it depends. If you have your own custom split then it will depend whether the routine looking for the keyword is performed in called by master or slave solver. Note that the Newton keywords are generally applicable only if there is Newton linearization.
