Path following, arc-length method, modified Riks method

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello everybody,

I am using COMSOL 3.5 to solve non-linear PDE systems in their weak form. As snap-through occurs, I need to follow the branch solution.

Is it possible to compute an arc-length method ?
Has someone already done it ?

Thanks a lot !

Francois
