Model error regarding maximum time step exceeded

[Bisesh Joshi]

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering this error of maximum time step exceeded at 2.73965E+03 year every time I run the model. The interesting thing is that it again runs when I restart from this checkpoint until again it reaches to year 2.73965E+03 year and again fails for the same reason. I want to run the model for 5000, 10000 year to see when it stabilizes.

I'm suspecting it to be due to large timestep at that timepoint; however, using timestepper with a timestep reduction factor of 0.90 has not fixed the issue.

Please let me know if anybody has any suggestions?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Bisesh

Dear Bisesh,

You might set the MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_TIMESTEPS in TIMESTEPPER larger than 999,999 which is a default value.

Since your model reached 999,999 at about 2,740 years, I would recommend a value larger than 5,000,000.

Sincerely

Won Woo Yoon
