We present advances in the development of our multi-physics hydrodynamic code, which is designed for simulations of interaction of a laser with a solid target. Unlike the classical codes in this field, it applies the Lagrangian formulation of magnetohydrodynamics, which is ideally suited for the rapid expansion or compression of the matter during the laser-target interaction. Moreover, it is based on the modern high-order curvilinear finite elements, providing the code computational efficiency, flexibility and precision. The construction and models included in code are charted and the design of the new Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian extension is presented with an outline of the possible applications.
