I have been looking at this, two points:
The quality plots indicate that many elements (4.5x10^3) have Rho <0.2 
and 2.2x10^3 elements have Rho between 0.2 and 0.5 (graph is horizontal 
in this region, and the the curve drops away hitting zero at rho=0.8.

Lack of experience is prohibitive in allowing me to assess whether this 
is acceptable or not. What does the ideal curve look like?

The both optimize routines still crashe on my model I am afraid.

Does this have something to do with the "normal" setting? Can this be 
influenced?
