Hi, regarding your questions:
- you can define the node as a connection point of the structure (right-click on the structure/Part under the Geometry branch in the Outline tree > Add > Connection Point), and then in the Details panel of the Structure Motion result, change Reference Point to the Connection Point you define.
- To define the wind/current coefficient, right-click on the structure/Part under the Geometry branch in the Outline tree > Add > Wind/Current Force Coefficients. You can find wind and current forces are calculated in Aqwa Theory Manual Section 2.2, 2.3, 7.1.
- Aqwa provides gravity force, acceleration, joint reaction force, and fender forces results, which can help you calculate g force depending on how you model.
Hope this helps.
