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.
|
The ADINA System is available on Unix workstations (HP, SGI, Sun, IBM,
and Compaq) and PCs (Windows and Linux). The system requirements for these
platforms are listed in the Support page on
[Installation].
