I am getting different hydrostatic results for Hydromax and Maxsurf with the same draft. Why is that?
The Hydrostatic calculations in Maxsurf and Hydromax can be different due to the following reasons: 1) Hydromax includes skin thickness where Maxsurf does not. 2) The number of sections used may be different which gives different results. 3) Some sections may not have formed correctly in Hydromax. Consult the Hydromax manual on how to check individual sections. 4) If you have used non-buoyant volumes or are analysing a damaged case, your hydrostatics will be different.
