Hello SU2 developers,

I'm trying to perform a NACA0012 subsonic constrained shape optimization. I performed direct and two adjoint (the first with J=DRAG, the second with J=LIFT) simulations. My objective function is DRAG and the constraint is on the LIFT force.

My problem arises when I execute shape_optimization.py with restart solutions, everything seems to be ok, but, when the second adjoint simulation starts (the one on the LIFT), the solver can't reach the solution and residuals go to infinity, although the solution_adj_cl comes from a converged solution. Actually I used the same convergence criteria for all the three simulations (CAUCHY with CAUCHY_EPS=1E-6).

If I instead execute SU2_CFD with MATH_PROBLEM= ADJOINT and the same restart solution, the required convergence is reached.

I attach below the configuration file and the two log files.

Cheers,
Roberto
