Hi Sxdu,

Thank you for your response. I shall keep these points in mind. I have some questions with respect to points (2) and (3)

(2) But I believe that mooring lines would restrict the motion in surge, sway, and yaw right as the motion in sway and yaw are nearly negligible in my time domain actual response. Only the surge seems to be a bit higher than the values shown in the reference article.

(3) regarding including the additional damping matrix in the time domain analysis. How exactly is it done because as of now, I have just defined in it :- part -> insert -> additional damping.

I am not sure on how to include the additional damping in the time domain analysis, could you please let me know how to do it because I feel this might be  the cause of the difference.

Please let me know.

Thank you!
