KINSOLSolver plugin¶

The KINSOLSolver plugin uses KINSOL to solve systems of non-linear algebraic (NLA) equations and it can be customised through the following properties:

• Maximum number of iterations: the maximum number of iterations used by the solver to solve the system (default: \(200\)).

• Linear solver: the linear solver used by the solver (default: Dense).

  Note #1: Dense, Banded, GMRES, BiCGStab, and TFQMR can be used.

  Note #2: Banded requires specifying both an upper and a lower half-bandwidth value.

• Upper half-bandwidth: the upper half-bandwidth value used by the Banded linear solver (default: \(0\)).

  Note: the upper half-bandwidth value must be between \(0\) and \(n-1\) with \(n\) the number of NLA equations in the system.

• Lower half-bandwidth: the lower half-bandwidth value used by the Banded linear solver (default: \(0\)).

  Note: the lower half-bandwidth value must be between \(0\) and \(n-1\) with \(n\) the number of NLA equations in the system.
