Adina Advanced
ADINA Advanced includes everything in ADINA, plus ADINA Thermal and ADINA Thermo-Mechanical Coupling (TMC). It is used to solve the most challenging nonlinear structural and thermal problems involving:
- Heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation
- Heat generation due to friction
- Time- and temperature-dependent material properties
- Residual stress from welding
- Latent heat effects (freezing and thawing)
Simulate Heat Transfer with ADINA Thermal
Solve heat transfer problems in solids and structures. Analysis capabilities include radiation between surfaces of arbitrary geometries in 2D or 3D, latent heat effects, convection, radiation, electrostatics, seepage, and piezo-electric analysis. The software includes element birth-death options and capabilities for highly nonlinear or temperature-dependent material behavior.
Solve Fully Coupled Thermo-Mechanical (TMC) Problems
You can address coupled thermo-mechanical problems in both solids and structures. Solve for mechanical to thermal coupling including heat transfer between contacting bodies, internal heat generation due to plastic deformation or viscous effects, and heat generation due to friction.Analyze Multiple Element Types
Conduct linear and nonlinear analysis of solid elements (2D and 3D solid elements), structural elements (truss, beam, pipe, shell, spring, optimal shell elements, MITC3+, and MITC4+), fluid elements (2D and 3D potential-based subsonic fluid elements), acoustic elements, special purpose elements (alignment, connector, general), or user-defined elements.
Minimize CPU Time and Memory Requirements
Deploy structural-only analyses, or use with other modules in the product suite for multi-physics applications, such as thermo-mechanical coupling or fluid-structure interaction analyses. Powerful solvers and element formulations enable the analysis of extremely large models with minimal CPU time and memory requirements.
Complete Pre- and Post-processing Capabilities with ADINA User Interface
Benefit from a fully interactive graphical user interface for all your modeling and post-processing tasks. Model geometry may be directly created or imported from various CAD systems, including those that support Parasolid (NX, SolidEdge, and SolidWorks).
Fully Automatic Mesh Generation
Meshing for 3D elements includes mapped meshing that generates brick, wedge, or mixed free-form tetrahedral elements, and general 3D meshing for solids and fluids. Conduct 2D surface meshing for shells, plated, and 2D planar elements, as well as 1D elements, such as truss, beam, and pipe.
