Normally, for a ship hull analisys, self-weight loads or those corresponding to ballast tanks, etc..are applied. In this example, there will be applied loads just for equilibrating those created by the hydrostatic pressure of the wave.
For doing so, the third component of the resultant forces (the one that corresponds to the vertical force caused by the hydrostatic pressure) has been divided by the total area of one of the hull´s surface (the lowest one of the two), and that pressure has been applied as Global Shell Load (Data -> Loads -> Static Loads ).

Note: For obtaining surface areas and other geometrical properties, use Utilities -> List -> Mass, and then, in this case, Utilities -> List -> Surfaces.
