How can the load in AQWA be transferred to APDL?

      The aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads calculated by aqwa are based on the center of gravity. How can this load be transferred to APDL and turned into a load based on the structure as a whole? For example, pressure loads, concentrated forces, accelerations, etc.

      The Hydrodynamic Pressure Add-on can help map the hydrodynamic pressure into the Static Structural model. More information can be found in the Aqwa User's manual section 8.1. https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/public/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v242/en/wb_aqwa/aqwa_extensions_hydro_pressure.html
