I'm trying to simulate the next model (2D, axisymmetric) a punch going through a glass block at 10mm / min but the simulation is taking a long time, how can I configure the analysis so that the time increment is not so low and the simulation time can end.

Can you please share some more details about the analysis you are doing, like end time, analysis settings, thickness of glass block? Are you using explicit dynamic module or LS-Dyna to simulate it?

thanks for answer.
I'm using explicit dynamic module because with LS-Dyna I can't configure the material, but explicit dynamic module let me use the explicit material in the library.
The thickness of the glass is 2 cm.
I share you the analysis settings

As velocity of punch is very less(10 mm / min) it is not explicit problem. It is more of quasi-static problem. So please use settings as per that.
You can use mass scaling with maximum element scaling factor = 1000 and maximum part scaling factor = 1000.
Also, please refer to similar question on forum.
