The ADINA System  
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 Structures The premium finite element program for linear and highly nonlinear analyses of solids and structures.
ADINA CFD CFD program for the analysis of compressible and incompressible flow with state-of-the-art capabilities for moving boundaries and automatic remeshing.
ADINA Thermal 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 Structures and ADINA CFD 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 Structures and ADINA Thermal modules, the user automatically has access to this module.
ADINA Multiphysics The ADINA Multiphysics package includes all ADINA solvers for solids and structures, heat transfer, CFD as well as multiphysics capabilities such as fluid-structure interaction, thermo-mechanical coupling, porous media, piezoelectric, Joule heating and many more!
ADINA User Interface The ADINA User Interface program (AUI) provides complete pre- and post-processing capabilities for all the ADINA solution programs.
ADINA Modeler The ADINA Modeler (ADINA-M) is an add-on module the AUI that provides solid modeling capabilities and direct integration with all other Parasolid-based CAD systems.
CAD/CAE Interfaces Through the ADINA Modeler, 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. 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].
