# TSSetStepNumber

Sets the number of steps completed.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscts.h"
    PetscErrorCode TSSetStepNumber(TS ts,PetscInt steps)

Logically Collective on TS

### Input Parameters

| ts | - the TS context
| steps | - number of steps completed so far

### Notes

For most uses of the TS solvers the user need not explicitly call TSSetStepNumber(), as the step counter is appropriately updated in TSSolve()/TSStep()/TSRollBack(). Power users may call this routine to reinitialize timestepping by setting the step counter to zero (and time to the initial time) to solve a similar problem with different initial conditions or parameters. Other possible use case is to continue timestepping from a previously interrupted run in such a way that TS monitors will be called with a initial nonzero step counter.
