Rigid bodies with hinges to calculate hinge loads

  Hello everyone, I came across a short YouTube tutorial about AQWA at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcLgRuOOSR0.
  The video demonstrates that AQWA allows a hull to be split into two or multiple segments. Hinge joints are used to replicate structural deformations, and time-domain simulations can output loads acting on each joint. However, I keep encountering an error message when running my own simulations:
  
  ABORTING- SOLUTION DIVERGED ON STRUCTURE 2 in X-Surge at time=0.00 step
  I would like to ask if this modelling approach is viable. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to responses from experienced practitioners.
