      Erosion is a numerical mechanism for the automatic removal (deletion) of elements during a simulation. Removes very distorted elements before they become inverted (degenerate). Ensures time step remains reasonably large. Ensures solutions can continue to the End Time. Can be used to allow simulation of material fracture, cutting and penetration.
