    It is likely to be an error or some small incorrect detail in the definition of the model. Could you show us the model you have made?
    On the other hand, why do you need to have two linked tanks? That is usually a complication.

    The first thing you should do is forget about the tanks and correctly define the ship's hull.
    The tanks, in general, are not defined by creating new surfaces for them but by giving their limits in the window corresponding to the definition of tanks in Hydromax.

    Thank you for your advice.
    But I did everything I could. I know there are two ways to calculate the tank.
    First, select [HULL SELL] for the vessel and select [Internal Structure] for the tank...and seclect [Boundary Surfaces] in Stability(input)
    (This way the surface can be calculated as a tank.)
    Second is to specify the tank area as you say.

    As I was saying, I think the first thing you should do is improve the definition of the hull. In a second stage, once the hull is correct, and not before, you can define the tanks as you think it would be better. I am of the opinion that defining them in HydroMax is better (the truth is that I believe that there is no other way to do it), although, of course, you can use auxiliary surfaces. See attached picture.

    I solved the problem by making the name of the tank the same. Thank you.
