Hello,

It looks like you are using Nonlinear Catenary Cables to model your tension legs, but this cable type is not really designed for that purpose (the Aqwa solver expects a catenary shape). You could either simplify the problem by using any other (linear or nonlinear) cable type; or you could replace the cables with Tether/Riser connections, which use a finite element method to estimate the tether loads and dynamic behaviour.

I hope this helps!
