We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hello,

You can model the end stops with fenders, but you cannot plot (linear) RAOs of the (nonlinear) structure motions including end stops. For this, you should run a time domain analysis. Then you can plot the instantaneous structure motions of the spar and torus, as well as the Fender Forces result (Elastic Force component) which will indicate when the torus makes contact with the end stops.
