From Aqwa theory manual, the fender's compression force is calculated by

K1 ~ K5 could be input as Coefficient A ~ Coefficient E. As you only have the linear stiffness value, it could be input as Coefficient A.

Please also see the definition of fender's damping force

the unit of the damping coefficient is in second.

Please check the hinge axices in your model, the hinge local x-axis (in red color below) may not be correct.
