# Best Practices

## Best Practices


1. **Mesh Quality**: Ensure panel mesh convergence before production runs
2. **Frequency Range**: Cover wave spectrum frequencies of interest
3. **Direction Resolution**: Use finer resolution for asymmetric vessels
4. **QTF Computation**: Include second-order effects for deep-draft vessels
5. **Validation**: Cross-check peak values with AQWA (5% tolerance on significant values)
6. **License Management**: Queue analyses during peak license usage
7. **Benchmark Testing**: Run AQWA comparison before production use
