The ADINA-AUI program
provides the complete pre- and post-processing capabilities for all the
ADINA solution programs. ADINA-AUI offers a fully interactive graphical user
interface for all the modeling and post-processing tasks.

Key features in ADINA-AUI include:
- Model geometry may be directly created and/or imported from
various CAD systems, including solid models from Pro/ENGINEER and
Parasolid-based CAD (e.g. Unigraphics and SolidWorks).
- Physical properties, loads and boundary conditions
can be assigned directly on the model geometry. Finite element meshes can thus
be modified without affecting the model definition.
- Fully automatic mesh generation can be used on general geometry with
flexible control over element size distribution. Mapped meshing can be used
on simpler geometry.
- Session file keeps track of user input and selection during model creation.
The entire model can be recreated by playing back the session file. A different
model can also be created by modifying the session file.
ADINA-AUI has many easy-to-use features such as:
- A fully interactive graphical interface with pull-down menus and dialog
boxes for selection of options and input of values.
- Icons for quick access to commonly used tasks.
- Copy and paste feature for the graphics window.
- Direct creation of AVI movies within the program.
- Output of graphics in vector or bitmap formats.
- Undo and redo features. Number of undos allowed can be customized.
- Dynamic rotation, zooming, and panning of the model.
- Support of command file input for often repeated tasks.
In post-processing, the wide range of result visualization tools include:
- Deformed and original mesh plots.
- Band and contour plots.
- Vector and tensor plots.
- Plotting of variables on graphs.
- Listing of variable values on screen or file.
- Definition of resultant variables from output variables.
