ADINA -V8.5


The ADINA System offers a one-system program for comprehensive finite element analyses of structures, fluids, and fluid flows with structural interactions.

With the ADINA System, there is no need to use one finite element program for linear static and dynamic structural analysis, another program for nonlinear structural analysis, and yet another finite volume based program for fluid flow analysis. Furthermore, the ADINA System is the leading program for fully coupled analysis of fluid flow with structural interactions (multiphysics).

The ADINA System consists of the following modules:

ADINA-AUI The ADINA User Interface program (AUI) provides complete pre- and post-processing capabilities for all the ADINA solution programs.
ADINA-M The ADINA Modeler (ADINA-M) is an add-on module to ADINA-AUI that provides solid modeling capabilities and direct integration with all other Parasolid-based CAD systems.
ADINA The premium finite element program for linear and highly nonlinear analyses of solids and structures.
ADINA-F CFD program for the analysis of compressible and incompressible flow with state-of-the-art capabilities for moving boundaries and automatic remeshing.
ADINA-T Module for the heat transfer analysis of solids and field problems.
ADINA-FSI The ADINA-FSI (fluid structure interaction) program is the leading code used by industries for fully coupled analysis of fluid flow with structural interaction problems. This module is available to users who license both the ADINA and ADINA-F modules.
ADINA-TMC This module provides capabilities for thermo-mechanical coupled (TMC) analysis, including analysis of contact with heat transfer. By licensing both the ADINA and ADINA-T modules, the user automatically has access to this module.
CAD Interfaces Through ADINA-M, users can directly import Parasolid-based (e.g., Unigraphics, SolidWorks, and SolidEdge) CAD geometry. We also provide interface programs to major systems such as
I-DEAS and MSC.Patran. Where a direct interface is currently not available (e.g., CATIA), the geometry can be imported via our IGES interface.
