Since the failure is in the first step of analysis! it seems that there is a problem with your model or the FEA parameters you considered!

It is my Opinion!

Check your model! It looks like it is unstable. Check boundary conditions and connectivity of your elements. Make sure not to have "hanging" nodes.

Thanks! I forgot to integrate the torsional stiffness. Now it works.

check your model if there is any hanger node. or check your connections. Generally LAPACK problems is about convergence.
