I tried to solve the simple implicit equation using OpenMDAO. The equations are shown below,
x*z + z - 4 = 0
y = x + 2*z
The solution is z = 2.666667, y = 5.833333 for x = 0.5.
For this case, I have used the code which is shown below,
from __future__ import print_function
from openmdao.api import Component, Group, Problem, Newton, ScipyGMRES
class SimpleEquationSystem(Component):
"""Solve the Equation
x*z + z - 4 = 0
y = x + 2*z
Solution: z = 2.666667, y = 5.833333 for x = 0.5
"""
def __init__(self):
super(SimpleEquationSystem, self).__init__()
self.add_param('x', 0.5)
self.add_state('y', 0.0)
self.add_state('z', 0.0)
self.iter=0
def solve_nonlinear(self, params, unknowns, resids):
"""This component does no calculation on its own. It mainly holds the
initial value of the state. An OpenMDAO solver outside of this
component varies it to drive the residual to zero."""
pass
def apply_nonlinear(self, params, unknowns, resids):
""" Report the residual """
self.iter+=1
x=params['x']
y = unknowns['y']
z = unknowns['z']
resids['y'] = x*z + z - 4
resids['z'] = x + 2*z - y
print('y_%d' % self.iter,'=%f' %resids['y'], 'z_%d' % self.iter, '=%f' %resids['z'])
print('x' ,'=%f' %x, 'y', '=%f' %y, 'z', '=%f' %z)
top = Problem()
root = top.root = Group()
root.add('comp', SimpleEquationSystem())
# Tell these components to finite difference
root.comp.deriv_options['type'] = 'fd'
root.comp.deriv_options['form'] = 'central'
root.comp.deriv_options['step_size'] = 1.0e-4
root.nl_solver = Newton()
root.ln_solver = ScipyGMRES()
top.setup()
top.print_all_convergence(level=1, depth=2)
top.run()
print('Solution x=%.2f, y=%.2f, z=%.2f' % (top['comp.x'], top['comp.y'], top['comp.z']))
I wrote a code based on Solving an Implicit Relationship with a Newton Solver method. To ran this code, I got a solution like this,

Could you know, How to solve this problem with respective iteration?. And tell me, How to construct the solve_nonlinear & apply_nonlinear for this case.
Looks like the problem clears up when you add an Indepvarcomp for the independent variable:
Then it converges quickly.
I agree that you shouldn't have to add that for this to work, and it is probably a bug. I have verified that this problem has been fixed in our latest development version of OpenMDAO.
