# Best Practices

## Best Practices


1. **Validate First**: Always validate OrcaWave results before conversion
2. **Consistent Units**: Verify SI units throughout
3. **Coordinate Systems**: Document origin locations clearly
4. **Heading Convention**: Match wave direction conventions
5. **Viscous Damping**: Add realistic viscous damping for roll
6. **Frequency Range**: Ensure coverage of wave spectrum
7. **QTF Data**: Include for moored vessel analysis
8. **Version Control**: Track both OrcaWave and OrcaFlex versions
