Besides being used widely in industries, the ADINA System is also used
effectively for research and teaching in the universities. ADINA offers
many attractive options for use as a teaching and research tool.
Teaching
- The theory and formulations used in ADINA follow closely to the material
in the book "Finite Element Procedures" by K. J. Bathe. The source code of the
programs in the book can be downloaded:
Unix version (tar and gzip) or PC version (winzip).
- The ADINA System can be used with the MIT video courses
Finite Element Procedures for Solids and Structures - Linear Analysis
Finite Element Procedures for Solids and Structures - Nonlinear Analysis
and the MIT Open Course Ware subjects

- The special educational license allows unlimited usage of ADINA throughout the
University with no restriction on the problem size or capabilities.
- The ADINA System can be used to analyze fluids and structures.
- In addition, a 900 nodes version of the program is provided that can be freely distributed to students. No password is required to run this special version.
Research
- In addition to the above attractive options, ADINA allows users to program their own types of loads, elements, and material models, making it a valuable tool for researchers.
The educational license is offered at a very low price. Please contact us for more information and pricing.
