  Hello,
  it depends on what your end goal application is but you could also look into coupling Aqwa with Rigid Body Dynamic application if this is relevant to you.
  Alternatively, you can break down your cube into smaller shunks which are linked with connections where you can specify its stiffness and damping coefficients.
  I hope this helps,

  Hi Ingrid,
  Thank you for your quick response. Bascially, my end goal is to get the RAO of my flexible cuboid when its placed on water. I did think about the second option you mentioned which is to break my cuboid into smaller chunks and then interconnect them via connections by specifying the stiffness and the damping coefficients. But, in this case, I was wondering if I could estimate the individual responses of each of the chunks? or does it give the response of the entire structure? Please let me know.
  Thank you!

Tensile Test Simulation Best Practices

It is fascinating to compare experimental and simulation test results for a tensile test specimen. The ability to conduct tests virtually, rather than physically, utilizing virtual simulations for testing not only increases efficiency but also leads to significant cost savings. In this crosstalk, we will address some of the challenges typically encountered in uniaxial tensile simulations.
