AGX Dynamics (previously known asAGX Multiphysics) is a proprietaryreal-timephysics engine developed byAlgoryx Simulation AB that simulatesrigid body dynamics,collision detection, dry frictional contacts, jointed systems, motors, fluids, deformable materials, hydraulics, hydrodynamics, cable systems and wires. AGX targets several domains, such as virtual reality real-time simulator applications for training and marketing; computer aided engineering and virtual prototyping; movie visual effects; and education. For education, components of AGX are used in the end-user software productAlgodoo also developed and sold by Algoryx. Users of AGX simulate e.g. granular systems, construction equipment, forestry machines, mining processes and machines, biomechanics, industrial robots, ship and anchor handling processes and cranes. AGX is often integrated with 3D visualization frameworks such asOpenSceneGraph,OGRE,Unity andUnreal Engine and often also with actual hardware and control systems of the real-world version of the simulator. AGX is integrated in many 3D modeling andCAD systems, including Algoryx Momentum forANSYS Discovery (formerlySpaceClaim).

AGX has been under active development since 2007. It usually has about 3 major releases per year.

AGX is developed by Algoryx Simulation AB, a private limited company established inUmeå,Sweden in 2007, as a spin-off fromUmeå University. In February 2011, Algoryx was selected for the list of Top-20 companies to represent Swedish Innovation, by theSwedish Institute, a Swedish government agency.^[1][2] In March 2011, Algoryx was ranked as one of Sweden's most promising young high tech companies by business magazineAffärsvärlden^[3] and tech news paperNy Teknik.^[4] In May 2011, Algoryx was selected byRed Herring for the Top 100 list of the most innovative companies in Europe.^[5]
