Thank you so much  sxdu for the reply.

 I saw the documentation on RAO based and actual acceleration and motion parameters.

What is the major difference in the RAO based and actual acceleration? .

For an experimental validation which one should i consider?  I had kept a sensor on the top of the model with moonpool. I used nodal displacement after creating a connection point and fixed point on the top.. The RAO based values are matching with the magnitude and actual shows the trend.

2. For a regular wave analysis in aqwa naut, why small irregularities are seen in the result'

This is from the user manual.  Can i have more explanation on the high lighted part

NB. model is in moored condition with cables
