Thank you very much for your reply. I tried both switches, but unfortunately they didn't seem to meet my needs.
-ts_adapt_always_accept The switch doesn't seem to work, reporting errors when the maximum number of steps is reached without convergence, then the program exits. -ts_error_if_step_fails 0 This switch accepts the non-convergence time step and outputs the result, but does not continue into the next time step calculation ( The time step hasn't reached the maximum time step I set). And I wonder if the variable behind this switch is optional? What does it mean? I hope to achieve in the case of non-convergence Newton step( for example, the maximum number of Newton iteration steps reached -snes_max_it 50), can go in the next time step calculation.
