Dear Ian,

Thank you for the explanation. 

I have one further question regarding including the hydrostatic pressures.

I have a deep draft unit (Draft=120m). Hence the variation in hydrostatic pressure is high along the depth of the lagrangian part (green represents the fluid inside the lagrangian shell). 

By setting the second poing (x2,y2) to match the highest coupling pressure, does this make the coupling at the top more stiffer than required? Is there a possibility to vary the coupling stiffness along the depth?

Thanks & Regards

Abhemanyu
