  Hi everybody. Recently I am working in a project to evaluate the impact of hydrofoils on ships, and I am planning to use the user_force to import the external force generated by the hydrofoils (Acually I was programming in python script, not sure if it is still called user_force or not).
  However, during calculating the external force, I need the wave elevation in a specific point (which is the locating of the hydrofoils) as an input to the formula, is there any methods that allows the user_force to get this data? Any help appreciated.

  Sorry, Aqwa currently cannot pass wave elevation at a specific point to the user_force scripts.

  Thanks for informing, temporarily I am planning to input the wave elevation manually by run the solution without the RUFC order and save the wave elevation to a csv file, much appreciation!
