Cadence Fidelity CFD - Marine
Advanced CFD for Marine Design
Cadence Fidelity Fine Marine is purpose-built for naval architecture and marine engineering, combining high-fidelity free-surface CFD with automated workflows for resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, manoeuvring and wind studies.
Explore more designs virtually, understand complex hydrodynamics and optimise vessel performance before committing to model testing or physical design changes.

Capabilities
Built for Marine Engineering
Resistance & Hull Performance
Hull resistance · Trim · Sinkage · Wave pattern · Drag reduction
Evaluate hull performance across vessel speeds and operating conditions.
Propulsion
Propellers · Self-propulsion · Hull–propeller interaction · Cavitation · Wake
Assess propulsor efficiency and interaction with the vessel rather than analysing components in isolation.
Seakeeping & Manoeuvring
Waves · Vessel motion · Turning circle · Zigzag · Complex body motion
Predict vessel behaviour under realistic sea and manoeuvring conditions.
Wind & Above-Water Aerodynamics
Superstructures · Sails · Wind loads · stability · Aerodynamic drag
Applications
