Hi @Adarsh.Arya, a similar question was asked here: [Synthetic fiber and chain modeling mooring lines - #5 by Ryan.Davies](https://forums.nlr.gov/t/synthetic-fiber-and-chain-modeling-mooring-lines/6303/5)

Short answer is yes you can ignore it, provided MoorDyn finds equilibrium through dynamic relaxation before your simulation begins.
