Bouc-Wen model problem

[jmcl]

Hello,

I'm performing a nonlinear analisys with Bouc-wen model elements. In some steps the program doesn't find the exact solution and show this error:

WARNING: BoucWenMaterial::setTrialStrain() -- did not find the root z_{i+1}, after 20 iterations

Is it posible to increase this number of iterations? I've tried using the command "test $TestType $maxNumIter $printFlag" but it doesn't seem to be the rigth one.
Could anyone help me? Thanks!

the test has nothing to do with the internal material iterations .. if you are having problems check your material args, if that does not work, download the code and edit the file to increase the number of iterations, though still might not work.

Hi：
do you solve the problem?WARNING: BoucWenMaterial::setTrialStrain() -- did not find the root z_{i+1}, after 20 iterations!
Please give a detailed ansewer.
