Reply To: Ansys AQWA: Meshing and connection errors

(1) If possible, please use quadrilaternal panels. Please check if setting "Ignore Modeling Rule Violation" as "Yes" works. 

(2) Aqwa deals with the rigid body hydrodynamic response analysis, the close-looped redudant contraints will cause the statical indeternimated solution. The hilghlighted each pair of hinge joints could be replaced by one joint, the six longitudinal hing joints could be reduced to a single hinge at the left hand side and a ball&socket joint at the right hand side.  

(3) Please set "Generate Internal Lid" as "Yes". If the draft of the structure is less than the mesh size, Aqwa may not give accurate results.
