By default, DEplot uses a fixed step method to integrate the input system.
There could be a number of reasons for the failure.
1) The problem could be too difficult for a fixed step method (there are regions
that need a very small step size).
2) The problem could be stiff
One of the options for DEplot is 'method=<your method of choice>'.
The first thing I would suggest is using method=rkf45 - a variable step
integrator.
If this does not work, then I suggest trying method=lsode - a stiff integrator.
In any event, the message being returned to you is not helpful, and requires a
fix.
Would it be possible for you to post the actual system that is giving you the
problem so I could try it out?
Thanks,
Allan Wittkopf
