Beasy Software

BEASY Products: Corrosion & CP Design


Simulate Galvanic Corrosion
BEASY can be used by the designer to simulate the electric fields and electrochemical reactions (polarisation) present in corrosion applications. Potential levels and currents can be predicted on metallic structures in the surrounding electrolyte.



Computer Requirements:
Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 or Unix Workstation.
BEASY is compatible with existing modelling tools such as PATRAN and IDEAS.
Windows users can also use BEASY’s own modelling tools.

BEASY predicts how effective proposed corrosion control strategies are at protecting structures and how they will perform over a structure’s life cycle. Also, how they will interfere with nearby systems

  • Simulating galvanic corrosion
  • Optimise CP system design
  • Reduce post commissioning costs
  • Reduce interference
  • Electric and magnetic field prediction
  • Marine application
  • Underground infrastructure application

Marine Applications
Predicting the performance of cathodic protection systems in the marine environment is a major application area of computer modelling. Both sacrificial and impressed (ICCP) systems on oil and gas structures, ships and boats can be modelled.

Reduce Post Commissioning Costs
BEASY enables designs to be simulated under varying environmental conditions to reduce the risk of underperformance or failure. Increased confidence in the design reduces the need for post commissioning surveys.

Optimise CP System Design
BEASY provides the corrosion engineer with the ability to model the performance of a CP system and to modify the key parameters to achieve maximum protection of the structure.

Electric and Magnetic Field Prediction
When used in conjunction with the BEASY CRM software the corrosion related electric and magnetic fields can be predicted
(eg, UEP, CRM etc).

Interference Reduction
Models can include adjacent structures which may interfere with the operation of the CP system. BEASY quantifies the interference and enables easy modification of the CP design to reduce these effects. Detailed data on potential shifts and current demand are computed.

Underground Infrastructure Applications
It is difficult to imagine how many different kinds of electrical impulses surge through today’s underground environment. Power lines, transit rail lines, communication cables and industrial plant foundations are just a few of the contributors to this buried infrastructural nervous system.

BEASY provides the tools to understand this complex system and predict how pipeline and storage tank cathodic protection systems will perform.
