From Aqwa theory manual, , the unit of the damping coefficient can be determined

[N]=[beta] * [N/m] * [m/s], so that [beta] =[s].  

"Size" in Details of a fender is the uncompressed length of that fender along the fender normal direction. "Action" as Fender X-direction only means that the fender's normal direction is in the global x-direction at the definition position.
