Problem of MACR_RECAL

Hello everyone! I have a problem about the usage of MACR_RECAL.
I use it to iterate a slave program of calculating the P-t curve of indentation for approaching the experiment curve which is also calculated by the slave program. For verification of the uniqueness of 6 parameters in the simplified Chaboche model, I try to use the exact parameters for the initial values. But there isn't any convergence. The Residual of the Iteration 0 equal to 1.0 .
I don't understand why the residual of Iteration 0 equal to 1 because it is exactly the same curve... How does it calculate the residual?
I really need your help! Thank you!

Hello,
without any files it is very hard to tell what's the problem.

You should provide the files to re-run the simulation or at least the message file of the failing run.

Best regards,
Richard

Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot to give the files!
Here are the main program, slave program and the mesh I used.

sphericalindent_chaboche_force_slave.3.comm
sphericalindent_chaboche_force.med



I use the slave program to draw a P-t curve according to the parameters below: (assumed to be the experiment data)
ETA : 140.14
EXP_N : 16.5436023657
GAMMA : 15796.0723344
PETITB : 400.0
R0 : 123.420729958
YOUNG : 116139.140085
And then I run the main program with the initial values which is the exact values before.


Below there is the convergence information from .mess

We can see that the error of the norm is small enough at the beginning, (in fact they are exactly the same curve for the iteration 0!) but the residual we got is 1, which seems to accord with the statistics. But in the main program, we require residual<0.0001, which is a default. We can not control the error of the norm in the main program which seems more reasonable to approch the experiment curve.
So I want to know why we can not recognize the exact values with the MACR_RECAL?

Thank you for your help!
Best wishes!

I don't know why I can't upload the files, if you want the program, I can send you by e-mail.
