    I am facing some problems in Hidromax (MaxSurf), my ship has 202 surfaces. I made it first at the FREESHIP, then i turned the condition of stability at the hidromax, but appears an error message saying that my accuracy is high.

    I think it might be due to the number of surfaces.

    Hydromax should work fine with 202 surfaces as long as they are bonded together along the edges.Send the file to support at formsys dot com if you cant resolve it.
    However designs with 202 surfaces are not going to be that nice to work with. You are better off defining the hull using a smaller number of surfaces. The sample files which come with Maxsurf give lots of examples of how to do that.
