ADINA R & D, Inc.: ADINA System

The ADINA System offers a one-system program for comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) of structures, fluids, and fluid flows with structural interactions. The analysis capabilities range from solving simple structural, heat transfer, or fluid flow problems to solving complex multiphysics problems, all using the same program system.

• Displacement and stress analysis of solids and structures
• Heat transfer analysis
• Incompressible and compressible fluid flows
• Fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
• Thermo-mechanical coupling (TMC)
• Structural-pore pressure coupling (porous media)
• Thermal-fluid-structural coupling
• Electric field-structural coupling (piezoelectric)
• Thermal-electrical coupling (Joule heating)
• Acoustic fluid-structural coupling
• Fluid flow-mass transfer coupling

The ADINA User Interface (AUI) uses the Parasolid kernel as its geometry engine. Hence, users of SolidWorks® can easily import their Parasolid-based geometry models (parts and assemblies) into the AUI for meshing, can apply geometry-based loads and boundary conditions, and can perform structural, heat transfer, fluid or coupled multiphysics analysis using the ADINA System.
