Hello,

I am trying to model a floating system in ANSYS AQWA and would like to use force data I computed in fluent as input data to compute motion in AQWA. I am new to AQWA so could someone help me understand how to process report data from a transient simulation in fluent solution to input data in AQWA?

Good morning, 

In the Hydrodynamic Response component, when you run a Time Domaine analsysis, you can import a time history structure force from a CSV

Alternatively, you can also import a time history force as a XFT file. It you google XFT Aqwa force, you will get access to its format.

Kind regards,

Ingrid
