Design cathodic protection in true 3D — before you build.

CP design still runs on rules of thumb.

Current-demand formulas and standard attenuation curves were built for simple, uniform geometries. Real assets are not simple: shielded internals, congested jacket nodes, layered soils, mixed coatings and neighbouring structures all distort the current distribution in ways a spreadsheet cannot see.

The result is familiar — anodes placed where they are easy to install rather than where they are needed, over-protection in one zone and under-protection a few metres away, and a design you cannot defend in front of a client or an auditor without falling back on experience.

CPManager replaces empirical design with predictive engineering.

What CPManager Does

Model the structure, not an approximation of it

A 3D simulation environment built specifically for cathodic protection engineers — not a general-purpose multiphysics package you have to bend into shape.

Build & mesh

Import STL or CAD geometry straight in. The deterministic meshing engine resolves intersections between components and cleans up the geometry automatically — you don't manage the mesh, and every run is repeatable.

Define the system

Smart library management for anodes, coatings and polarisation data. Flexible electrical connections let you represent real wiring, bonds and isolation — ICCP and galvanic (SACP) systems alike.

Simulate & validate

Time-dependent CP performance across the whole structure. Check potentials against your protection criteria, identify under- and over-protected zones, and generate the report that proves it.

Applications

One platform, onshore and offshore

The same solver handles buried, immersed and atmospheric-zone structures — including the awkward geometries where hand calculations break down.

Storage tanks & vessels

Above-ground storage tank bottoms, vertical and deep-well anode beds, bullet tanks and process vessels.

Offshore structures

Jackets, monopiles, wind-turbine foundations, FPSOs and subsea assets — galvanic or impressed current.

Plant & buried piping

Congested plant piping, well casings, tank farms and interference between neighbouring CP systems.

Reinforced concrete structures

Bridge decks, jetties, quay walls, car parks and marine structures. Model current distribution through the concrete to the rebar cage, size and position embedded anodes, and check that protection reaches the bars that need it — not just the ones nearest the anode.

The Workflow

From CAD to compliance, in one flow

Import & mesh

Bring STL or CAD geometry straight in. Intersections are auto-resolved into a clean 3D mesh.

Define the system

Anodes, coatings and environments from the smart library, with flexible electrical connections.

Simulate

Time-dependent CP performance across the entire structure, onshore and offshore.

Validate & report

Check protection criteria, demonstrate standards compliance and share results.

Why Engineers Choose It

What changes when you simulate first

✓ Fewer surprises at commissioning. See the protection profile across the whole structure before installation, not after the first survey.

✓ From supplier to strategic partner. Science-based evidence changes the conversation with your client from price to performance.

✓ Repeatable, auditable runs. Deterministic meshing means the same input gives the same result — every time, for every reviewer.

✓ Right-sized anode packages. Stop paying for over-conservative designs — and stop retrofitting under-designed ones.

✓ Risk zones made visible. Shielded areas, interference and coating-defect hot spots shown in 3D, where words fail.

✓ Less trial and error. Test a design variant in an afternoon instead of arguing about it for a week.
