Cvodes error

Hi,

I am trying to solve a very large stiff system with the CVODE_BDF() solver. When I apply the Jacobian-free solver by setting linear_solver =: GMRES, it magically solved my problem with about 20 sec, which I believe is too good to be real.

Upon checking the output, I noticed that the results do not satisfy physical understanding. In some smaller system, I can get reasonable output by decreasing the relative tolerance. But in the big system I really want to solve, when I decreasing reltol, I always get the error info below:

It seems adjusting dtmin and dtmax do not make any difference. I wonder what are the possible workarounds to this error information?

Thanks in advance!

That means the solver went unstable. See PSA: How to help yourself debug differential equation solving issues
