For Fluent, look at the transcript .trn file. For Mechanical, look at the .out file. Also, look at the System Coupling log file, .scl. You can also try re-running the case and stopping it just before the timestep when it crashes, then examine the mesh in Fluent or CFD-Post to get more clues.<br \/>\nIt is very important to build up the FSI simulation in stages as opposed to setting up the 2-way FSI right at the start.
