Hi there. when i run my simulation the time domain stop. the error show stop due to capsizing. how can i improve this as my model is very small. it is a cylinder with lenght of 3m and diameter of 1m. hope you can help. below is my code.

Hi Georgina,
Thanks for the command. Ive tried it and it works. But i encounter other problem. My model appear below the sea surface and its also appear to have a large rotation. can you suggest anything to solve the problem?
You should make a picture after the &equi command. I see that you have commented out that command. You should be happy with the results of the &equi command before starting the time domain analysis. In university this is where the professor would say, solve the static analysis before proceeding to the dynamic analysis.
I hope this helps.
