Error occurring when using cable dynamics in Ansys AQWA
 
Hello!

I am performing a simulation of a moored floating body in Ansys AQWA, but when I set "Use cable dynamics" to "Yes" in Hydrodynamic Time Response analysis settings, this error occurs: "Cross sectional area of mooring line #1 is too small" and the analysis stops (this message is displayed: "The Aqwa core solver stopped unexpectedly --> Solve aborted").

I am convinced that the equivalent cross sectional area value that I used in catenary section properties is ok... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thank you very much for your help!
