Abstract
We describe our three-dimensional numerical relativity code for the ev olution of inhomogeneous cosmologies. During the evolution, the constr aint equations are monitored but not solved. The code has been tested against perturbation theory with good results. We present some runs of inhomogeneous inflation with strongly inhomogeneous initial data.
