 I am trying to convert an AQWA mesh to MOSES. Appreciate if you can advise why the result for buoyancy seem to be negative? and what need to be corrected?

&lt;p&gt;This is probably due to the incorrect panel orientation. The MOSES convention states that when defining a panel, the order of vertices should be clockwise when the panel is viewed from the outside of the body. I believe that when you converted from AQWA mesh to MOSES, it was in the opposite direction to the MOSES convention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can simply change the direction by using the &amp;quot;REVERSE -yes&amp;quot; command just before the panel definition, as shown in the code below. I hope this helps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
