try to reduce the imposed stress of the fault and see if the problem persists:
1)reduce the duration of the fault 2)increase the impedance of the fault, so that the Isc magnitude is decreased (just temporarily to find the cause of the crash) 3)Reduce the time-step of the simulation 4)Increase the tolerance of the convergence (again, only temporarily)
