Error solver on Simsolid run / how to access to the log file ?

I'm doing a linear structural analysis on Simsolid. The boundary conditions are only 2 sliders on the structure and I've applied pressure on the overall structure.

When I run the analysis, an error occures during the pass 2 at status 18. It says that it unables to solve the equation system and that the structure may be insufficient. 

 

Howether, I've no independant parts, and I've checked the connections. 

I was wondering if there is any possibilities on simsolid to access the solver/ log file in order to understand where could be the error on my model? 

Thanks in advance !

    Did you run modal analysis with the same boundary conditions to confirm no mechanisms?

    Also, can you check your connections, especially ones with aspect ration more than 0.1? These ones may be weak connections which can also cause instabilities.
