The ADINA program provides state-of-the-art capabilities for the stress analysis of solids (2D and 3D) and structures in statics and dynamics. The analysis can be linear or highly nonlinear, including effects of material nonlinearities, large deformations and contact conditions.   ADINA has particular strength in contact analysis as shown here in the crush analysis of a Ford Windstar.

Roof crush analysis; implicit solution, speed 12.4 mm/sec (0.05 km/hr); more about this analysis in Application Showcase.

The ADINA program offers versatile and generally applicable finite elements for solids, trusses, beams, pipes, plates, shells and gaps. Material models for metals, soils and rocks, plastics, rubber, fabrics, wood, ceramics and concrete are available.

ADINA's analysis capabilities include:

Efficient linear analysis.   Small and large deformations, large strains.   Elasto-plastic, creep analysis including thermal effects.   Buckling and post-buckling analysis.   Contact problems in statics and dynamics.   Iterative solver for large systems.   Very efficient sparse solver for all analysis options.   Substructuring in statics and dynamics.   Addition and/or deletion of elements during analysis.

Frequency and mode superposition.   Response spectrum, random vibration analysis.   Linearized buckling analysis.   Wave propagation, shock wave analysis.   Structural vibrations, harmonic analysis.   Acoustic fluid-structure interaction.   Fracture mechanics with crack propagation.   User-supplied elements, material models and loads.
