I'm not familiar with Ls-Dyna, but it looks like your problem is with the
number of communicators you are creating. LAM/MPI has a hard limit of
around 4095 communicators (including MPI_COMM_NULL and MPI_COMM_WORLD).
It looks like you are hitting this hard limit.

It is not possible to increase this limit in LAM/MPI - it would require
extensive changes to the internal data structures of LAM. I would examine
the code to see if it is possible to reduce the the number of
communicators you are creating.

Hope this helps,

Brian
