The Company

ADINA R & D, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Dr. K.J. Bathe. Our mission is:


To provide ONE finite element program system - the ADINA System - that can be used to perform comprehensive finite element analyses of structures, fluids, fluid-structure interactions, and multiphysics.


We fulfill our mission through the in-house development of all the ADINA programs. Our customer base includes major companies in the mechanical, civil, automotive, nuclear, forming and biomechanical industries, as well as many universities and research institutes world-wide.

Through our partnership with Siemens, ADINA's powerful solver has been integrated into NX Nastran Advanced Nonlinear - Solution 601/701 for implicit and explicit solutions.

The founder of ADINA R & D, Inc., Dr. K.J. Bathe, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a leading world-renowned researcher in the field of finite element analysis. He is the author of several textbooks and numerous journal papers. Dr. Bathe leads the development of the ADINA System.

Since 1975, Dr. Bathe has taught and conducted research in finite element methods at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where his research group has made major contributions, recognized and used worldwide, to the field of finite element analysis.
