What's ADINA

When you need to solve the most challenging problems involving nonlinear material behavior, time-dependent loading, large deformations, or complex contact conditions where reliability and accuracy are paramount, choose ADINA. Engineers have relied on ADINA for over 30 years, thanks to continuous user feedback that has strengthened and improved the software.
ADINA is a leading finite element analysis software suite for linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis of all types of structures, as well as their interaction with fluids and heat transfer between materials. ADINA was developed to solve the most challenging nonlinear problems across a wide range of engineering disciplines, such as:

  • Automotive design
  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Civil and Structural Engineering
  • Building
  • Product design

ADINA Features

The ADINA Standard License includes ADINA Structures and the ADINA User Interface.

The ADINA user interface provides a fully interactive graphical interface for all modeling and post-processing tasks.

The software can create or import models from various CAD systems, including Parasolid, FEMAP, STL, or other industry-standard file types to maximize the efficiency of the analysis and design process.

ADINA Structures is commonly used to analyze specialized structures and custom structural components to perform forensic and root cause analysis or to assess the resilience of existing infrastructure.

Direct interfaces with other Bentley Systems analysis and design applications, such as STAAD.Pro® and RAM® Structural System, enable you to automatically export structural models to ADINA for more advanced analysis.

ADINA Structures offers the following advanced features:

  • Geometric, material and load nonlinearities
  • Immerse implicit and explicit dynamics (including automatic transmission)
  • Large deformations
  • Frictional contact between structural components
  • Low-velocity dynamics for structural collapse analysis
  • Birth and death of the element
  • Impact analysis
  • Frequency analysis and modal superposition technique
  • Buckling and post-buckling analysis
  • Special bolt element with automatic preload

ADINA Structures provides a variety of element types for linear or nonlinear analysis, including:

  • Solid elements (2D and 3D solid elements)
  • Structural elements (beams, girders, pipes, shells, membranes, cables, bolts and springs)
  • Fluid elements (2D and 3D potential-based subsonic fluid elements)
  • Special purpose elements (track, connectors and rigid connections)
  • User-defined elements

ADINA ADVANCE
ADINA Advanced includes everything included in ADINA Standard, plus ADINA Thermal and ADINA Thermo-Mechanical Coupling (TMC).
ADINA Advanced solves heat transfer problems in solids and structures. Applications can range from early thermal effects of concrete to fire analysis of structures, or the heat generated in a disc brake.
For example, some key features include:

  • Heat transfer, including radiation between surfaces.
  • Heat generation due to friction.
  • Conduction, convection and radiation.
  • Time- or temperature-dependent material properties.
  • Internal heat generation due to plastic deformation or viscous effects.
  • Effects of latent heat (freezing and thawing).
  • Residual welding voltage.

ADINA ULTIMATE
ADINA Ultimate includes everything included in ADINA Advanced, plus ADINA Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), ADINA Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI), ADINA Electromagnetics (EM), and ADINA Multiphysics coupled analysis.
ADINA CFD solves the full Navier-Stokes equations or Reynolds equations for incompressible or compressible flows. The software can model:

  • Compressible and incompressible fluid flowing in laminar and turbulent regions
  • Thin-film Reynolds flow with smooth or rough edges.
  • Two-phase flow using volume of fluid (VOF).
  • Non-isothermal flow and conjugate heat transfer.
  • Flow of porous media.
  • Mass transfer flows.
  • Compressible conditions at low and high speed.

ADINA CFD comes with material models for handling compressible and incompressible fluids and gases.

Building collapse due to various effects can be modeled in ADINA to perform a progressive settlement analysis.

To address coupling between fluid and structural models, ADINA FSI includes direct or iterative fluid-structure interaction
FSI coupling methods. In both cases, displacement compatibility and tensile equilibrium conditions along the fluid-structure interfaces are satisfied. These schemes are applicable to any Reynolds number flow, from low to high Reynolds numbers. Where large structural displacements occur, ADINA provides advanced adaptive meshing capabilities to control mesh quality, including leader-follower constraints, slip boundaries, and extended walls.

ADINA EM solves Maxwell’s general equations governing electromagnetism for electric field strength and magnetic field strength.

ADINA Multiphysics helps you gain deeper insight into the performance of your designs and understand the interaction between physical fields, including structural deformation, fluid flow, electric field, temperature, and pore pressure.
