stoped or crashed with "Segmentation fault"

Dear CFDEM users,
I am using the CFDEM 2.3 and have been bothered with "Segmentation fault" errors these days. I have done a few cases using this version and it worked fine, at lest no strange errors. But recently I set up a case almost the same with the other one except for the drag force, and the "Segmentation fault" error emerged along. The case will "cash" or stop at somewhere around 0.2s whaterver I change the settings, and the output is like this:

Time = 0.17394

Courant Number mean: 0.0454717 max: 1.05449

It seems something wrong with the openmpi and parallel commucation, but I do not know where the key reason is located. I am sure that the case is stoped unusual (not crash) and I wonder someone could give me some hints. Thank you very much!
Best wishes!
