Exploding Sphere

Problem description: An explosive material is placed inside of a sphere. The explosive is lit, expands, and impacts the sphere. The sphere expands, reaches yield, seam lines fail (failure strain 0.2) and fragments fly apart. Due to use of high explosives time step must be scaled down for stability.
