    <para>         Return the vector of all the degrees of freedom of the model consisting
      of the concatenation of the variables of the model (useful
      to solve your problem with you own solver).

    </listitem>

    <listitem>
    <para><literal>gf_model_get(model M, 'assembly'[, string option])</literal></para>

    <para>         Assembly of the tangent system taking into account the terms
      from all bricks. <literal>option</literal>, if specified, should be 'build_all',
      'build_rhs', 'build_matrix' or 'pseudo_potential' (in that case,
      the pseudo_potential is returned).
      The default is to build the whole
      tangent linear system (matrix and rhs). This function is useful
      to solve your problem with you own solver. 
    </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
    <para><literal>{nbit, converged} = gf_model_get(model M, 'solve'[, ...])</literal></para>

    <para>       Run the standard getfem solver.

    Note that you should be able to use your own solver if you want
    (it is possible to obtain the tangent matrix and its right hand
    side with the gf_model_get(model M, 'tangent matrix') etc.).

    Various options can be specified:

    - 'noisy' or 'very_noisy'
       the solver will display some information showing the progress
       (residual values etc.).
    - 'max_iter', int NIT
       set the maximum iterations numbers.
    - 'max_res', @float RES
       set the target residual value.
    - 'diverged_res', @float RES
       set the threshold value of the residual beyond which the iterative
       method is considered to diverge (default is 1e200).
    - 'lsolver', string SOLVER_NAME
       select explicitely the solver used for the linear systems (the
       default value is 'auto', which lets getfem choose itself).
       Possible values are 'superlu', 'mumps' (if supported),
       'cg/ildlt', 'gmres/ilu' and 'gmres/ilut'.
    - 'lsearch', string LINE_SEARCH_NAME
       select explicitely the line search method used for the linear systems (the
       default value is 'default').
       Possible values are 'simplest', 'systematic', 'quadratic' or 'basic'.
    - 'with pseudo potential'
      for nonlinear problems, the criterion of the line search will
      be a pseudo potential instead of the residual. Still experimental since
      not all bricks define a pseudo potential.

      Return the number of iterations, if a iterative method is used.
      
      Note that it is possible to disable some variables
      (see gf_model_set(model M, 'disable variable') ) in order to
      solve the problem only with respect to a subset of variables (the
      disabled variables are the considered as data) for instance to
      replace the global Newton strategy with a fixed point one.
