- sfepy.solvers.ts_solvers.adapt_time_step(ts, status, adt, context=None, verbose=False)[source]¶
Adapt the time step of ts according to the exit status of the nonlinear solver.
The time step dt is reduced, if the nonlinear solver did not converge. If it converged in less then a specified number of iterations for several time steps, the time step is increased. This is governed by the following parameters:
red_factor : time step reduction factor
red_max : maximum time step reduction factor
inc_factor : time step increase factor
inc_on_iter : increase time step if the nonlinear solver converged in less than this amount of iterations…
inc_wait : …for this number of consecutive time steps
- Parameters:
- tsVariableTimeStepper instance
The time stepper.
- statusIndexedStruct instance
The nonlinear solver exit status.
- adtStruct instance
The object with the adaptivity parameters of the time-stepping solver such as red_factor (see above) as attributes.
- contextobject, optional
The context can be used in user-defined adaptivity functions. Not used here.
- Returns:
- is_breakbool
If True, the adaptivity loop should stop.
