We report a numerical evolution of axisymmetric Brill waves. The numerical algorithm has new features, including (i) a method for keeping the metric regular on the axis and (ii) the use of coordinates that bring spatial infinity to the edge of the computational grid. The dependence of the evolved metric on both the amplitude and shape of the initial data is found.
