# SNESSetDM

Sets the DM that may be used by some nonlinear solvers or their underlying preconditioners

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsnes.h"
    PetscErrorCode  SNESSetDM(SNES snes,DM dm)

Logically Collective on SNES

### Input Parameters

| snes | - the nonlinear solver context
| dm | - the dm, cannot be NULL

### Notes

A DM can only be used for solving one problem at a time because information about the problem is stored on the DM, even when not using interfaces like DMSNESSetFunction(). Use DMClone() to get a distinct DM when solving different problems using the same function space.
