Thank you for your response.
but what kind of fenders do you think is better to allow the relative motions only along the spar local z-direction? omni-directional or one-direction only? and what about the fender properties? could you please help me in adjusting proper amounts for siffness coefficients (A to E), damping coefficient, friction coefficient and size?
