Hello,

you don't need to cut your surface at the water level. If you look at the details panel of the Mesh in the editor's outline, you will see an option to automatically create the nodes at the waterline. Note that Aqwa only works with surfaces and, as suggested above, check and repair your geometry if needed with T/X connections, overlappring/disconnected surfaces,etc... 

You can also load your geometry into AqwaGS (load your DAT file available in the Aqwa Workbench working directory) to locate the problematic nodes.

I hope this helps.
