We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

In 13.5.3. Motions at Drift and Wave Frequency (ansys.com), there are some descriptions of RAO based responses.  If you want to get the 6 DOF motions, please use Structure poistion - actual response.

The actual responses give you the actual LOCATION and/or OREINTATION of a structure's COG.  If the actual response -> global z result at a time step is  -4.9m, it just means that at that time, the COG in the global coordinate system (the origin is at the mean water level) is at -4.9m in the vertical direction. Â
