Overview

Nexus is Hexagon's Digital Reality Platform designed to revolutionize manufacturing by connecting people, technologies, and data. It facilitates real-time, fluid collaboration across engineering disciplines, enabling the secure exchange of data that traditionally resides in silos. By integrating Hexagon's extensive portfolio with third-party tools, Nexus empowers manufacturers to innovate more efficiently and bring ideas to life faster than ever before.

Features and Capabilities

• Open Cloud Platform: Nexus offers an open, cloud-based environment that integrates Hexagon's technologies with those from partner ecosystems, promoting seamless collaboration and data sharing.
• Nexus Home: Provides a personalized web-based interface where users can access products, documentation, support functions, and cloud-native apps, facilitating real-time collaborative projects.
• Nexus Platform: Utilizes modern, user-centered UI and UX design, offering capabilities to build apps and solutions, including connectivity, visualization, high-powered computing, and AI technologies.
• Nexus for Developers: Empowers developers to build third-party apps and workflows on the Nexus platform, providing easy access to APIs and SDKs.
• Metrology Reporting App: Connects Hexagon and third-party metrology data sources in a secure cloud environment, enabling companies to generate interactive 3D CAD-based reports and insightful trend analyses.
• Materials Connect App: A cloud-based library for material data, allowing manufacturers or material suppliers to manage material data, physical test data, and behavior models for use in product Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) workflows.
• Materials Enrich App: Uses machine learning and cloud-accelerated material behavior simulations to help users find and simulate optimal materials, improving product performance and sustainability.
• Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) Solution: A pre-configured solution that streamlines the development of optimal metal 3D-printed parts, preparing them for successful printing using the laser powder bed fusion process.
• Nexus Compute: Enables scalable cloud-based execution of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers, allowing engineers to run simulations without compute resource and software license limitations.
• 3D Whiteboard Pro App: Powered by Microsoft's Fluid Framework, it enables real-time visual collaboration and fast iterative teamwork across disparate engineering and manufacturing functions.
• Predictive Quality Software: Employs machine learning to analyze shop floor data in real-time, predicting defects and automating root cause analysis to enhance product quality.
