$Δ T_{s c a}$ $Δ T_{\min}$

Data	Description	SI Unit Example
`Keyword3`	Time step control type: `STOP` The run will stop, if the SPH cells time step reaches $Δ T_{\min}$ and a restart file will be written. `DEL` The element which fixes the time step is removed. `CST` The time step becomes constant after reaching $Δ T_{\min}$ . The formulation switches to a small strain formulation for each element that reaches the $Δ T_{\min}$ .
$Δ T_{s c a}$	Scale factor on time step for option defined by `Keyword3`.
$Δ T_{\min}$	Minimum time step.
