Hi, you need to set the KSP type to KSPPREONLY and the PC type to LU as you did.
Then it will only call “the preconditioner” which is in this case the LU factorization.

What I'm using now is PCSetType(pc, PCLU), and not setting ksptype. Is this the LU factorization setting of KSP? Thanks, Best regards, Barry
