How to apply load on pontoon structure (floating on water) and do simulation via ansys?

  I want to do a simulation on the pontoon structure and want to know the flow of water across the pontoon. The pontoon should have load since it has structure on it and it should remains in the same position on water. I have tried with system coupling (transient structural and fluid fluent) but it can't run the solution because of error in transient structural. I would like to appreciate if you can give me suggestion on how to do the simulation and what else can i do the analysis on the floating system. Thank you.

  You will need to use vof in fluent.
  
  check this.
