model had five components.
rubber boot stretched over two of them to provide spring and seal.
boot, pin and housing with two shrink fits analysis works ok.
even adding displacement of pin solves.
add any other part and crashes

so now it is not crashing but having a failure in the solution.
Solution failure in a Step>1, it could be due to:
The solution may be at a buckling or limit point, i.e., for force control or contact problems, this is the end of solution (check out the response graphs).
Iterations not converging:
1. Increase the Singularity-elimination-factor @ .5 now
2. Raise the convergence tolerance slightly (Last resort)
Looks like it is stabilizing and stopping. I have a small gravity force that does not seem to be making sufficient force to actually cause any motion. raised it very high to see what happens now.
crashes the solver or the solver fails?
