The newest version of Fine Marine - Cadence's CFD software specifically designed for Marine Engineers and Naval Architects - is out now.

Discover re-conceptualized wave generation, drastically expanding the range of waves and the accuracy of the modeling and advanced post-processing tools.

What's New?

Wave Generation Revisited

The generation of waves has been completed and re-conceptualized. Waves are now discretized using the Fourier Series Decomposition (FSD) method. This drastically expands the range of wave modeling and its accuracy for particular configurations beyond the scope of the previous wave generation method based on Stokes expansion theory. 

This offers several benefits, such as: 

• The possibility of performing cnoidal waves
• Better accuracy for waves close to the breaking limit and steep deep-water waves
• Improved wave damping/forcing methodology
• Automatic choice of wave discretization parameters

Advanced Post-Processing Tools

• A new python script for irregular waves spectral analysis has been developed to improve simulations with waves further. It can determine whether the generated wave signal measured at the first wave probe corresponds to the input wave spectrum and produces this kind of plot: 

• Another new script has been developed for roll or surge decay project validation. It provides linear, quadratic, and cubic damping coefficients for free decay simulations using the Froude energy method.
