About HxGN Multiphysics
Hexagon's Multiphysics suite empowers engineers to simulate real-world physics across disciplines — structural, thermal, fluid, acoustic and more — within one interoperable ecosystem. By virtually testing products from concept to certification, teams can reduce prototypes, accelerate innovation and improve performance.
The software captures complex interactions like vibration-induced resonance, thermal fatigue and flow-driven noise, enabling smarter design decisions and confident manufacturing through accurate, physics-based insights. The suite offers a scalable portfolio — from industry-standard solvers to model/geometry creation, CAD connection, model preparation for simulation, and advanced meshing technologies.
Key Features of the Products
Comprehensive Structural Analysis
A complete view of structural performance under combined loads, improving fatigue predictions and enabling virtual design validation.
Fluid-Structure Interaction
Evaluate how structural deformation affects fluid flow and vice versa using FSI modelling, combining fluid and heat transfer analysis to design efficient cooling systems through conjugate heat transfer.
Supercharged Acoustic Analysis
Acoustic analysis combined with structural and fluid simulations helps predict and control noise from vibration and airflow — essential for quiet automotive and aerospace cabins.
Co-Simulation
Comprehensive analysis that enables virtual prototypes by integrating high-fidelity CAE tools into a seamless workflow with interoperable interfaces for model processing.
