Hello,

I downloaded the test case 'steady_inverse_adjoint' from the GitHub page of SU2 and I tried to run a shape optimization with a discrete adjoint method.

The optimization terminates after one single function and adjoint evaluation since the sensitivities are O(1e-11).

On the other hand, when running the optimization with a continuous adjoint technique, everything works fine and a minimum is reached after 28 function and 11 gradient evaluations.

Any idea why this happens?

Thank for the help,

Z
