About Adams
A multibody dynamics simulation tool to model moving-part dynamics and how loads and forces are distributed throughout mechanical systems.
Adams is delivered by CADOpt as part of Hexagon's HxGN System Dynamics suite, alongside Romax.
Key Capabilities
Simulate Real-World Motion
Adams enables early system-level validation by modeling complex interactions across motion, structures, controls and actuation — reducing development costs and improving product performance.
Integrated Virtual Prototyping
Combine Adams with Elements to build and test complete systems — mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electronic components — for realistic, cross-domain simulation.
Ride Quality and Energy Distribution Modeling
With Adams, evaluate ride dynamics and energy contributions across system modes to fine-tune comfort and performance in ground vehicles.
Part of HxGN System Dynamics
Adams runs alongside Hexagon's other System Dynamics tools for multi-fidelity, real-world system behaviour prediction — from blank-sheet design through subsystem optimization to virtual product sign-off.
