I’ve tryed it so many times but can't understand why it doesn’t work out for me?

I really appreciate your help.
I set the stiffness of the transverse fenders 10E+12 N/m which costed me a small time step of 0.001 s but the torus still goes far from the spar and I get the error blow:

HYDRODYNAMICALLY INTERACTING STRUCTURES HAVE MOVED TOO FAR FROM ANALYSIS POSITION MOVEMENT EXCEEDS 75% STOPPED AT TIME = 5.31.

I tryed it with a simple regular wave which did not have a very high amount of period and amplitude!
