3D Finite Difference Method (FDM) for Marine & Offshore

Apply the 3d finite difference method (fdm) to real marine & offshore problems — in the browser, with AI assistance.

This is the 3d variant of the Finite Difference Method (FDM). FDM replaces derivatives with difference quotients on a regular grid — simple to implement and ideal for diffusion, wave, and reaction–diffusion PDEs.

In marine & offshore, teams face challenges like hydrodynamic drag, wave loading, corrosion and fatigue. The 3d finite difference method (fdm) directly supports use cases such as hull resistance cfd, wave-structure interaction, riser dynamics, and PolySim's AI Copilot can recommend settings and catch common setup errors before you run.
