-maxNLSteps n

Specifies the maximum number of nonlinear steps to be attempted. Exceeding this number does not terminate the time integration, and the values after this number of nonlinear steps is taken to be the converged solution. The default is 20. Reasonable time steps should lead to convergence in 3-10 nonlinear steps.
