SLEPc eigenvalue computation does not converge in 2017.2

[Daniel]

As described here

https://www.allanswered.com/post/lknpp/eigenvalues-of-cantilever-beam-in-linear-elasticity-problem/

the eigenvalue computation with SLECPc does not work with 2017.2 but converges for version 2017.1

[Bleyer Jeremy]

It seems to me that removing eigensolver.parameters["spectrum"]="smallest magnitude" computation converges. Note that when using shift-invert we automatically obtain the smallest eigenvalues. Can someone confirm this behaviour ?

[Daniel]

Yes, I can confirm this behaviour
