For NASTAN Sol 400, I'm trying to force a solution even when it doesn't converge without changing the errors PWU. On NLPARM, I set NINC =3, MAXITER=3, MAXBIS=0, MAXDIV=100, so on the first step 0.333 it doesnt converge after 3 iterations, can'

...can't bisect, then gets acceptables solution 'BEST ATTAINABLE SOLUTION', then goes to 0.6667, doesnt converge after 3 iterations, then stops with fatal error doesn't converge. Why didn't it continue? I though this would force it. The kmethod was AUTO, the only thing i can think of is that there were no stiffness updates in the 0.6667 increments to the only point it can go back to is the last 0.333 and if it did that the same thing would happpen (same path). Any help would be appreciated.
