Hi guys,

I am simulating free burning arc in open air. My model can run the DC arc current of 5 kA and arcing time 10 ms. But for arc time 5 kA and 100 ms, it can run another 100 ms after the arcing time and then it crashes. After I check the out file, I find there is an sudden increase of the residual of Maxwell's equaions. It is understandable that after the arcing time, there is no more current input and any other energy input, therefore the Maxwell's equations will stops calculation gradually. To prevent the fault extrapolation, I add a step function to the current input to make sure that the current input stays 0 after the arcing time. I also changed the timestep from 1e-3 and 1e-4 but still crash at the same time. Does anyone have some solution for that? Thank you

Timestep: 1e-4
