Hello,

I am working on Monopile with 5MW wind turbine in ANSYS AQWA, in analysis I got this massage:

UNDERWATER SIDE # 4 ON ELEMENT#855 IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANOTHER ELEMENT. THIS MAY CAUSE PRESSURE ERRORS AND WILL CAUSE HULL PRESSURE CONTOUR ERRORS.

What does it mean/ How can I solve it?

I would suggest first trying to check the Generated Mesh Information in the Mesh object detailed panel. If there are red or yellow mesh panels displayed, try adjusting the mesh to avoid the mesh problems. 

For more details on Generated Mesh Information, see Aqwa User's Manual Section 5.3: https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/public/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v242/en/wb_aqwa/AQWA_Mesh.html?q=Mesh .
