Hello Mohammad, 

>From the error message, the job was terminated for exceeding time limit, 
meaning the job is still running, it just takes a very long time. From the 
output message, the FSI solver did not get initialized either. Your FSI 
parameters look good to me  

Without running your simulation, I think it's likely that something is 
wrong with CreateMeshPoints(), which is for generating BCE markers that 
describe the screw geometry. Since decreasing resolution will take longer 
time to generate the markers, the program could still be computing the 
markers. The implementation right now doesn't scale well with higher 
resolution. It might also got stuck in some infinite loop ... I will need 
the screw geometry to look into this more.

You can also generate the BCE markers yourself, and read the points in the 
FSI program, then attach them to the screw body using AddPointsBCE(). That 
way you have control over how to place the grid points so it can capture 
the geometry. You can also speed up the process by parallelize your 
implementation. You only need to do it once. 

Thank you,
Luning
