Hello Mike,
I am validating the results with respect to one benchmark paper, which has given some stiffness values, the problem I am facing is that, which value i need to adopt for the stiffness connection and fender connction,  a picture related to the details provide in the paper is attached,

, 

I have highlighted the stiffness values, in that i have taken the PTO stiffness value for fender and stiffness upper/ lower end stop spring value used for the x-x, y-y in connection stiffness matrix, i am not sure wheather i have applied them correctly, and im not getting what values, need to be used for RX,RY,RZ in stiffness connection which i need to provide in N.m/degree. and regarding to fender option there is option for friction coefficient, damping coefficient, and stiffness coefficient, reffering to the aboce details, what value i need to adopt for them. 

Please guide me with this.
