Numerical simulations are performed of the approach to a general spacetime singularity. In these simulations small scale structure forms on surfaces of codimension 1. The simulations are done with adaptive mesh refinement that resolves the small scale structure. The shape of the small scale structure is compared to an approximate formula for that shape.
