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 Hexagon Multiphysics suite offers a scalable portfolio of solutions, from industry-standard solvers to model/geometry creation, connection to CAD, model preparation for simulation, and advanced meshing technologies.

Key Features of the products

Perform comprehensive structural analysis and predict performance

Multiphysics analysis provides a complete view of structural performance under combined loads, improving fatigue predictions and enabling virtual design validation.

Understand the interaction of fluids with other physics critical for product performance

Evaluate how structural deformation affects fluid flow—and vice versa—using FSI modelling, while combining fluid and heat transfer analysis to design efficient cooling systems through conjugate heat transfer.

Supercharge acoustic analysis for quieter, higher-quality designs

Acoustic analysis, combined with structural and fluid simulations, helps engineers predict and control noise from vibration and airflow—essential for designing quiet automotive and aerospace cabins.

CO-Simulation-Comprehensive analysis to enable virtual prototypes

Hexagon’s Multiphysics suite enables co-simulation by integrating high-fidelity CAE tools into a seamless workflow with interoperable interfaces for model processing.
