Details

  • Currently, NDSolve can integrate differential algebraic equations that are index 1 or less. NDSolve performs structural analysis to determine the index of the system and issues this message if the index of the system is greater than 1.
  • Off[message] switches off the message; On[message] switches it on. For example: Off[NDSolve::index].

The differential algebraic equation system is an index-3 system that cannot be solved without performing index reduction:

Differentiating the last equation and substituting into the second equation gives . Differentiating again and substituting the third equation gives . Differentiating again gives the final system. Since the DAE was differentiated three times, the index is said to be 3:
