# Best Practices

## Best Practices


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