Co-simulation for coupled physics
CAE software solutions for co-simulating coupled physics.
At many companies, CAE is performed as an isolated activity within a single functional team or engineering discipline. Hexagon’s multiphysics cosimulation solutions enable engineers to model the interactions between physics disciplines, enhancing the performance, safety and reliability of products.
Overview
CAE simulation tools can offer incredible insights into product performance. However, most focus on a single physics discipline, where in reality the performance, safety and reliability of products is greatly influenced by the interactions between multiple physics disciplines. This is where multiphysics cosimulation – also known as coupled simulation or connected simulation – adds unique value.
Multiphysics cosimulation provides engineers with more complete and holistic performance insight by coupling together multiple simulations. With multiphysics cosimulation, engineers can more realistically model the interaction of products with their environment, such as the vehicle behaviour in crosswinds or the motion of a propeller in tidal water.
Hexagon’s solutions for multiphysics cosimulation enable everything from acoustic simulation to multibody dynamics, CFD to structural analysis, and explicit crash dynamics to be coupled, giving greater insights in design for better overall performance.

We’re climbing the automation curve
Our transition to Intelligent automation is accelerating. Ultimately, our innovations will give rise to new technologies and applications - many of which we’ve yet to imagine. Today, every Hexagon solution is mapped and tagged according to its level of automation, so customers can clearly track our progress towards the freedom of autonomy.
Human-driven
All tasks completed by human labour; no data is leveraged across the operation.
Human-assisted
Labour is primarily conducted by a human workforce. Some functions have been automated to simplify control.
Partial automation
Some tasks are automated for short periods of time, accompanied by occasional human intervention.
Conditional automation
Human workforce is used for intervention as autonomous operations begin to increase productivity.
Highly autonomous
Autonomous systems complete required tasks within specific bounds, unleashing data and building smart digital realities.
Full autonomy
A smart digital reality™ enables autonomous systems to complete all tasks without human intervention.
