Hey Shawn,

ok, this is difficult since I cannot reproduce it. Can you please send the output of your run with 100x100 and the attached input file? I increased the verbosity of the linear solver, so maybe we can see more from there.

Kind regards
Bernd

Hi Bernd,
 
Thanks a lot for your quick attention. However, with your input file, and grid resolution 100x100, I got the same exceptions. I also tried to increase ResidualReduction parameter even further without any luck.
 
It puzzles me that the code runs at lower resolution but not at higher...

Hey Shawn,

thank you for reporting this. It helps to relax the threshold for the reduction of the residual that the linear solver is required to achieve. I attach a corresponding input file, where the parameter is adjusted in line 31.

To me, the default threshold of 1e-12 seems to be very small. We will discuss whether the default value should be adjusted.

Kind regards
Bernd

Dear All,
 
I ran into an issue of 1p model not converging. After a series of tests, I trace it to this canonical situation,   For standard test/boxmodels/1p problem, if I increase the 2D grid resolution from 10x10 to 100x100, the solver will not converge, with the following error reported.
 
This error, however, will go away if I reduce the perm difference between lens and exterior from 2 order of magnitude into 1 order of magnitude. This makes me speculate that the error is related to sharp gradient at lens/exterior interface caused by the heterogeneity at high resolution.
 
I think the reproducer on standard test makes it likely a serious problem, though I will be very happily corrected.
 
Truly appreciate your quick attention.
 
Best,
-Shawn
