We provide a universal description of the breaking of umbilic bifurcations by nonysmplectic integrators. We discover extra structure induced from certain types of boundary value problems, including classical Dirichlet problems, that is useful to locate bifurcations. Geodesics connecting two points are an example of a Hamiltonian boundary value problem, and we introduce the jet-RATTLE method, a symplectic integrator that easily computes geodesics and their bifurcations. Finally, we study the periodic pitchfork bifurcation, a codimension-1 bifurcation arising in integrable Hamiltonian systems. It is not preserved by either symplectic on nonsymplectic integrators, but in some circumstances symplecticity greatly reduces the error. "}]}
