I have the hydrodynamic stiffness matrix from AQWA output files and would like to understand the best approach to implement it in a static structural analysis. Or just the pressure mapping is enough to simulate tthe structure with the moorings already defined in diffraction model?&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p data-start=&#8221;174&#8243; data-end=&#8221;462&#8243;&gt;I would appreciate any insights, best practices, or example workflows from anyone who has tackled similar simulations.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p data-start=&#8221;1408&#8243; data-end=&#8221;1428&#8243;&gt;Thanks in advance!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p data-start=&#8221;1430&#8243; data-end=&#8221;1451&#8243; data-is-last-node=&#8221;&#8221;&gt;Best regards&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-413382","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-aqwa","topic-tag-aqwa","topic-tag-floating-body-1","topic-tag-hydrodynamic-diffraction","topic-tag-load-mapping-2","topic-tag-static-sturctural-1","topic-tag-staticstrutural"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_topic_id":["413382"],"_bbp_author_ip":["212.55.178.70"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["431773"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["431773"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-05-16 09:20:58"],"_bbp_reply_count":["15"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["1"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_btv_view_count":["440"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_likes_count":["1"],"_bbp_subscription":["515264","183765","508361"],"_bbp_engagement":["508361","183765"],"_bbp_notification_enabled":["508361"]},"test":"arjun-janardhanantecnico-ulisboa-pt"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/413382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/413382\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
