      The author solves the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I (KPI) equation which is a nonlinear wave equation using the finite element program PDE2D (\url{http://www.pde2d.com}). The initial conditions consist of two lump solitons, which collide and reseparate. Since the solution has steep, moving, peaks, an adaptive finite element grid is used with a grading which moves with the peaks.
