1) first of all, u can see which node causing the problems by referring to job diagnostic(under visualization>tools)
2) try re-mesh the model, i would like to suggest to start from coarse to fine mesh,
3) somehow you have to play around with the increment time, automatic incrementation is good for early observation. later on, fixed is the best
