[FLASH-USERS] Newton-Raphson failure in LaserSlab simulation

[Wen Fu]

Hi,

I was using flash4b to run the LaserSlab simulation as demonstrated in 
the user guide. The run broke down after about 66 cycles with the 
following error message. Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this 
error? Thanks.

Best,
Wen
