That's a very good idea! Thanks

Well, the speed depends on how fine you want the mesh, and how small you
make the time steps. Sometimes I take unnecesarily small steps and it takes
ages! And sometimes I'm too optimistic and get overflows at the middle of
the simulation for taking too large steps.

In this particular case, hmmm... I think it took about 2-3 seconds per
frame. Later I have to render each frame, of course!

Thanks for your comments and good suggestion!

Fernando.
