# TSForwardGetSensitivities
Returns the trajectory sensitivities
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"
PetscErrorCode TSForwardGetSensitivities(TS ts, PetscInt *nump, Mat *Smat)
```
Not Collective, but Smat returned is parallel if ts is parallel
## Output Parameters
- ***ts -*** the `TS` context obtained from `TSCreate()`
- ***nump -*** number of parameters
- ***Smat -*** sensitivities with respect to the parameters, the number of entries in these vectors is the same as the number of parameters
