# Best Practices
## Best Practices
1. **Start with Radiation**: Analyze radiation damping before adding viscous
2. **Calibrate to Tests**: Match damping to model test data when available
3. **Amplitude Effects**: Remember bilge keel damping is amplitude-dependent
4. **Sensitivity Study**: Always perform sensitivity analysis
5. **Document Assumptions**: Record damping values and justification
6. **Conservative Design**: Use lower damping for conservative motion estimates
7. **Frequency Range**: Check damping at resonance frequencies
