Elements accelerates technical development even further. Modeling of systems is essential for the early design steps because little information is required - often a CAD model, an equation or a lookup/table of values is sufficient. The software is based on the Modelica modeling language, an open and established standard for quickly creating flexible, customizable models.

The drag-and-drop environment allows them to model physical types and logic as needed, and analyze systems by intuitively connecting blocks-whether they represent electrical, hydraulic, or mechanical components-thus solving system-level engineering problems. This requires the integration of all relevant technical disciplines, control and third-party systems to understand both the interactions between the individual domains and the impact of design decisions in one discipline on other disciplines.Įlements is easy for system engineers to learn. Customers from all industries require technologies that can be used in numerous sub-areas of physics as well as mastering mechatronic challenges in a robust way and thus further driving the growing trend towards engineering at system level. In doing so, Elements takes into account the growing importance of integrated, multidisciplinary system development and consistent workflows. The software enables rapid evaluation of the performance and feasibility of new design concepts, resulting in more efficient product development and reduced risk and costs. Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence introduces Elements, a new simulation software that gives engineering teams valuable insight into the behavior of the increasingly complex systems of modern products.
