Hope your current calculation is performing well!
Nope the system crashed (I was doing other work instead of letting it sit on it's own)

So, I've started over, coarser mesh, fewer timesteps.

One thing I've noticed is that in ElmerPost I'm creating IsoSurface slices on the x-axis nodes, and the min/max values are still in the hundreds, so my attempts to scale the mesh aren't working.

....... still playing :)

IT WAS THE SCALING!!!!!!!

I searched this forum for scaling and got this discussion: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=589&p=2044&hilit=scaling+mesh#p2044

Adding Coordinate Scaling(3)=Real 0.001 0.001 0.001 seemed to solve the problem!!! :D

I will do a more in depth simulation and confirm, but want to thank you all for your help!
