FINE/Marine is a CFD flow integrated environment dedicated to marine architecture. It integrates a full automatic high quality unstructured hexahedral grid generator (Hexpress), a high fidelity incompressible solver fine-tuned and dedicated to marine applications (ISIS-CFD) and an advanced visualization tool, CFView.
