Accelerate Adams Car Simulation Testing.
The Nexus Compute Adams Car Pilot provides the ability to leverage Nexus Compute for Simulations from the Adams Car Desktop application. This can be useful for offloading long running simulations, large numbers of events, or Design of Experiment (DOE) simulations. The capabilities include:
- Simulate one or more events or event sets from the event browser on Nexus Compute
- Simulate a Design of Experiment (DOE) on Nexus Compute
- Visualize DOE results in a Dashboard on Nexus Compute
This pilot offers early access to these capabilities to get your input on how they can help you and in driving the direction of future capabilities.
Benefits And Features
Accelerate Adams Car simulations with Nexus Compute
Run Events/Event Sets seamlessly on Nexus Compute
Adams Car now provides the ability to send one or more events to be executed on Nexus Compute. This is fire and forget. You can do other work or even close Adams Car. The next time you Run Adams Car and log into Nexus it will update automatically on the progress or to download the results.
Submit Designs of Experiments (DOEs)
From Adams Car select the Event set to use for a DOE and Adams Car does the rest. It packages up all the necessary files, upload them to the cloud and takes you through a powerful yet intuitive DOE setup in your browser. You can then monitor the progress of the DOE and download any trials of interest (failures, strange results, ideal results) to explore on your desktop.
Gain insight into Performance, Sensitivity and Relationships
Nexus Compute for Adams Car now comes with a Dashboard interface for viewing DOE results. With a variety of standard widgets, you can look for relationships between varied parameters and KPIs, identify sensitivities, view heat maps, and look at variations in KPI results.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, Nexus Compute is a pay per use service separate from MSCOne or paid up licenses. There is one fixed price for any Adams model based on the duration of the simulation and the hardware it was run on.
Once you purchase credits, any simulations that are run will consume a certain amount of credits. There is one fixed price for any Adams model based on the duration of the simulation and the hardware it was run on. In the case of multirun simulations such as for a DOE, where trials/runs are distributed over many compute nodes, the cumulative time on all the compute nodes is used to determine the cost. Hence there is no penalty for running 10 compute nodes with 1 simulation each or running 1 compute node with 10 consecutive simulations. This is the key benefit Nexus Compute offers, massive parallelization of multiple simulations.
The first release of Nexus Compute support for Adams Car is with the commercial version of Adams Car 2024.2.1. If your Adams Car models have custom libraries or solver subroutines, these are not presently supported. This capability is coming soon, so please contact your Hexagon account representative to discuss supporting your customizations.
No, once a job has been submitted to Nexus Compute, you can log off Nexus, Save your Adams Car session and come back later. This means you can do other work in Adams Car or any other application. The job will continue to run in the background. The next time you log into Nexus from Adams Car, and select the Document where you hosted the job, it will automatically synchronize the job status. For Event/Event set submissions, if it has completed, then it will automatically download the results to your desktop. For DOE submissions, you should lob into Nexus navigate to the relevant documents to review the job or create a dashboard to review results.
