# TSSetStepNumber

Sets the number of steps completed.

## Synopsis

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

Logically Collective

## Input Parameters

- ts - the `TS` context

- steps - number of steps completed so far

## Note

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.
