ADINA
ADINA ( A utomatic D se Dynamic I ncremental N onlinear A nalysis ) is a finite element program system developed by Klaus-Jürgen Bathe was launched and since 1986 by ADINA Research & Development, Inc. is developed. The program offers possibilities for the calculation of linear and non-linear, quasi-static and dynamic questions from structural mechanics , fluid mechanics , acoustics , thermodynamics , electromagnetism .
features
One of the special features of ADINA is the ability to calculate problems of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in a fully coupled manner. This enables solutions to open questions that concern the flexible behavior of structures under any flow conditions and the mutual influences (e.g. parachute, veins, valve springs).
The mathematical formulations used by ADINA are fully described and therefore accessible to anyone who is interested. The books written by Klaus-Jürgen Bathe on this topic are among the recognized standard works of the finite element method .
ADINA uses a large number of 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional element formulations for which a large number of material laws are available.
Structure and interfaces
ADINA has a modular structure and can also be purchased modularly. In addition to the three physical core areas ADINA-A (structure), ADINA-T (thermodynamics and field calculation) and ADINA-F (fluid mechanics), the ADINA-FSI and ADINA-TMC couplings as well as a complete user interface and interfaces are available. The system also includes mesh generators including an automatic hexahedron mesh . Process automation is possible via a log file; the openness of the system leaves room for the integration of your own solutions.
Users
ADINA users include training-related structures such as B. the Bundeswehr, University of Munich and other universities, primarily companies that develop and simulate virtually (this includes, for example, engineering offices and vehicle manufacturers).
Others
Due to a cooperation between ADINA Inc. and Siemens PLM , an ADINA subset is available in NX Nastran as an additional module Advanced Nonlinear.
