Hi Barry and Matt and happy new year, I wanted to check again if there was anything new with the TSSetEventHandler and TSSetPostEventIntervalStep. If you think there could be an alternative way to obtain the behavior I want in PETSc I'd be happy to try it.

It detects the zero by finding a small value when it should detect it by find a small region where it changes sign but surprising it is so hardwired to the size test that fixing it and testing the new code has been very difficult to me. My branch is barry/2019-08-18/fix-tsevent-posteventdt Barry, I do not see this branch on gitlab. Can you give a URL?

Ideally, after the event happens I want the solver to use a much smaller timestep using TSSetPostEventIntervalStep. However, when I use TSSetPostEventIntervalStep the solver doesn't use the set value. I managed to reproduce the behavior by modifying ex40.c as attached. I stepped through ex40, and it does indeed change the timestep to 0.001. Can you be more specific, perhaps with monitors, about what you think is wrong? Thanks, Matt I think the issue is related to the fact that the fvalue is not technically "approaching" 0 with a random event, it is more of a step function instead. Do you have any recommendation on how to implement the behavior I'm looking for? Let me know if I can provide additional information.
