Correcting the initial conditions for the crystalline beam acceleration simulation delayed the onset of heating a bit but it still went through the solid->liquid->gas phase transition as you can see on the temperature plots.  The peak in relative heating rate (dT/dt)/T as a function of T is known in the literature.
