An improved meshing scheme allows simulations to proceed further than before, though convergence difficulty is still encountered upon full opening. Changing the initial shape of the window does not greatly affect the rate of opening. Changing the initial window stress greatly affects the initial snap-back upon opening, but the long-term trendline as full opening nears is less strongly affected. At 60 psi pressure, the opening time is approximately 4-4.5 μs for the configurations tested in this study.
