Best Practices
Best Practices
- Start Coarse: Begin with 500-1000 panels for initial testing
- Convergence First: Always run convergence study before production
- Waterline Focus: Finer mesh near waterline improves accuracy
- Symmetry: Use symmetry when applicable to reduce computation
- Quality Check: Validate mesh quality before running analysis
- Panel Count: Optimal range is 2000-4000 for most vessels
- Aspect Ratio: Keep below 3:1 for accurate results
