# TSSetDM
Sets the `DM` that may be used by some nonlinear solvers or preconditioners under the `TS` 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSSetDM(TS ts, DM dm)
```
Logically Collective on ts


## Input Parameters

- ***ts -*** the `TS` integrator object
- ***dm -*** the dm, cannot be NULL





## Notes
A `DM` can only be used for solving one problem at a time because information about the problem is stored on the `DM`,
even when not using interfaces like `DMTSSetIFunction()`.  Use `DMClone()` to get a distinct `DM` when solving
different problems using the same function space.
