Design and engineering solutions for virtual prototyping and testing
Multiphysics cosimulation offers realistic analysis with multiple physics disciplines in one model.
Designing safe and sustainable cities
Explore how multiphysics simulation can model scenarios such as indoor environments and air flow around buildings.
Hexagon develops multiphysics simulation software that enables engineers to validate and optimise designs using virtual prototypes. Customers in virtually every industry use our software to complement and even replace the physical prototype ‘build and test’ process traditionally used in design.

Design and engineering solutions for multiple uses
As a trusted partner, Hexagon’s multiphysics simulation helps companies improve quality, save time and reduce costs associated with design and test of real-world applications.
Our products accurately and reliably predict how products will behave in the real world to help engineers design more innovative products quickly and cost effectively.
Hexagon’s simulation technology is used by leading companies for linear and nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), acoustics, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), multiphysics, optimisation, fatigue and durability, multibody dynamics (MBD) and control systems simulation.
Design and engineering solutions for buildings
Multiphysics simulation provides a solution to many challenges in the buildings sector. For example, optimising building HVAC system design and minimising heat losses with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) not only makes economic sense, but also creates a more sustainable world. Analysing the impact of elevator noise on apartments or offices provides a more comfortable living or working environment.
Design and engineering solutions for infrastructure
Hexagon and its partners provide a unique set of customised CAE tools to perform structural safety validation for all construction and infrastructure sectors, such as bridges, dams, foundations, tunnels, skyscrapers, nuclear plants or any other major civil engineering infrastructure.
Design and engineering solutions for facilities
Multiphysics simulation is widely applied in various industrial facilities throughout the world to improve the design and enhance productivity.
Tools like multibody dynamics (MBD) software are constantly utilised to optimise the processing speed of machinery systems and enhance the throughput of the production line by up to 30% or more. Finite element analysis (FEA) is also used to ensure the structural integrity of the refinery, as another example.
Design and engineering solutions for mining
Hexagon’s multiphysics CAE solutions facilitate the virtual simulation of the entire mine construction process, taking into account the time-dependent material properties and soil-structural interactions, complementing Hexagon’s CAD solutions for the ultimate underground design challenges.
