Pre-Flight Validation Checklist
Before running a benchmark, verify ALL of these:
[ ] Mesh quality: panels roughly square (aspect ratio < 2:1)
[ ] Mesh density: sufficient panels (700+ for 100m barge)
[ ] All solvers use identical:
[ ] Frequency range (rad/s)
[ ] Wave headings (degrees)
[ ] Water depth
[ ] Mass properties
[ ] Centre of gravity
[ ] OrcaWave YAML: QTF settings NOT set when QTF disabled
[ ] AQWA DAT: Elements use QPPL DIFF keyword
[ ] AQWA DAT: ILID AUTO card present after ZLWL
[ ] AQWA DAT: SEAG card has 2 params (non-Workbench mode)
[ ] AQWA DAT: All lines under 80 columns
[ ] Unit consistency:
[ ] Frequencies in rad/s (not Hz)
[ ] Rotational RAOs in deg/m (not rad/m)
[ ] Phases in consistent convention
