Warning for time-independent equations with no fixed BC or pinned point #277

Open wband opened 3 weeks ago

wband commented 3 weeks ago

Time-independent solves with periodic or natural boundary conditions where there is no pinned point or boundary are typically ill posed and can result in garbage solutions. Right now, we make avoiding this the user's responsibility. We should implement a warning when users try to perform a time-independent solve with only periodic and/or natural boundary conditions and no pinned point.
