Dear all,
I am working on tracing the equilibrium path of the unstable static
nonlinear problem.  So, the arc-length method are needed.
Another scalar parameter \lambda is added to the original equation systems
by:
system.add_variable("lambda",FIRST,SCALAR);
and then solve the augmented system.

First, I use element: tet4. It works for small pressure.
but when I use
mesh.all_second_order()
to convert the mesh from tet4 to tet10,
I get warning like this:
WARNING: Second derivatives are not currently correctly calculated on
non-affine elements!

I noted that this warning come from function FEBase::compute_map() in
fe_map.C file.

00497 #ifdef LIBMESH_ENABLE_SECOND_DERIVATIVES00498   if
(calculate_d2phi
<http://libmesh.sourceforge.net/doxygen/classlibMesh_1_1FEBase.php#a4170551fa0860822e21475e3c098bc13>)00499
    {00500       libmesh_do_once(00501         libMesh::err
<http://libmesh.sourceforge.net/doxygen/namespacelibMesh.php#ab0817b8542b150bfa3fb23393df99f28>
<< "WARNING: Second derivatives are not currently "00502
        << "correctly calculated on non-affine elements!"00503
              << std::endl;);00504     }00505 #endif


 I don't need to calculate the second derivatives for my problem and I did
not enable the second derivatives when I installed libmesh. But why I get
this warning.

By the way, I am trying to using ContinuationSystem to tackle my problem
also. I am not totally sure how to use ContinuationSystem until now, but I
run some experimental code anyway. This code give the warning above also. I
am confused why this happen.
could anyone help me? thank you very much.
Best wishes,
yunfei
