    In Maxsurf you have to do exactly the same as if you calculated it by hand.

    What you need if to clearly define the volume that serves as buoyancy reserve.
    Talking of Maxsurf, if you have an open space, the application tries to close it. So, probably you don't need the deck but you need to perfectly define the sheer line.

    Thank you so much, i guess sheer line is auto detected on maxsurf, my doubt was whether it was possible to have a vanish stability angle of 110 deg (it's a planing hull Lwl=12m, Bwl=4m)

    I don' t thing possible a so huge angle. How is your boat?. Should have a watertight superstructure. Then you do need to define deck and sp.

    The righting arm curve shape seems correct but its maximum value and the maximum GZ angle are, imo, very high. I think the avs is too big, under normal conditions it should be less than 90ยบ. However, with the data you show us I can't say anything more. Check the weight calculation carefully, as it is possible that your CoG is too low.
