Dynare++ option for iteration # of steady state solver

Hi,

Can I know how to increase the maximum number of iterations of the non-linear solver of deterministic steady state? It seems that its default value is 500 but I'd like to increase it since the convergence to the solution is sometimes very slow. Dynare++ tutorial only mentions --ss-tol which sets the tolerance of the solver. Thank you in advance.

I don't think it is possible. Try to compute the steady state with Dynare Matlab/Octave and provide better initial values to Dynare++. Note also that Dynare Matlab/Octave provides now 3rd order approximation.

Best
