BEASY Corrosion & CP is a specialized simulation software platform designed for engineers and asset managers to model, analyze, and optimize corrosion and cathodic protection (CP) systems. The software uses advanced numerical methods, including the Boundary Element Method (BEM), to create full 3D virtual prototypes of structures such as pipelines, storage tanks, ships, offshore platforms, and other metallic assets exposed to corrosive environments. BEASY Corrosion & CP supports both sacrificial and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems, enabling users to predict the degree of corrosion control, validate CP designs, and assess the effectiveness of protection strategies. The platform integrates with CAD tools for model creation and visualization, and it is widely used in industries such as oil & gas, marine, and infrastructure for design validation, maintenance planning, and risk mitigation. The software is validated against experimental data and is recognized for its accuracy and reliability in industrial applications.
