Short summary
Concentration of deformation is difficult to capture accurately in computer simulations. We present a number of challenges associated with concentrated viscous deformation and demonstrate strategies to overcome them. The strategies include automatic selection of appropriate time steps to react to rapid changes in model behavior, automatic rescaling to avoid rounding errors, and three methods to prevent model instability. This way, we are able to accurately capture very fast viscous deformation.
