Bentley ADINA Ultimate 2025

ADINA (Automatic Dynamic Incremental Nonlinear Analysis) is a universal program based on the finite element method, used for engineering linear and nonlinear calculations. ADINA allows you to solve structural and temperature problems, calculate flow, and conduct multiphysics and electrostatic simulations. Implementing a program during product development or production is the best solution to reduce prototype production costs and reduce testing time. Modern computational methods underlying the ADINA program distinguish it from other programs due to accurate and reliable results for solving nonlinear problems.

Main functionality of the package:

• Linear analysis of structures.
• Highly nonlinear analysis of structures.
• Thermal analysis.
• Hydrodynamics.
• Interaction of threads with structures.

NX Nastran uses ADINA as its nonlinear calculation module.

The ADINA package consists of the following modules:

• ADINA Structures – module for calculating the static and dynamic strength of solid bodies and structures. The calculation can be carried out both in a linear and in a highly nonlinear formulation, taking into account the nonlinearity of the material, large deformations and contact.
• ADINA CFD is a software package for simulating compressible and incompressible fluid flows using finite-volume and finite-element discretization.
• ADINA Thermal is a software module for solving problems of heat transfer in solids and structures.
• ADINA-FSI is a module designed to analyze the interaction of flow and structure, and it is possible to consider highly nonlinear material behavior due to large displacements, inelasticity, contact and temperature dependence.
• ADINA-TMC is a software module designed to solve related thermal strength problems, when thermal phenomena affect strength ones, and vice versa.
• ADINA User Interface (AUI) is a pre- and post-processor module that makes it possible to create and edit geometric and finite element models and visualize calculation results. Compatible with all modules of the complex.

Additional modules:

• ADINA Modeler (ADINA M) is a module built into the AUI that uses the Parasolid graphics core and provides solid modeling and direct interaction with other CAD systems using Parasolid (Unigraphics, SolidWorks, Solid Edge)
• TRANSOR for I-DEAS, Patran – a separate module that makes it possible to import data files in I-DEAS and MSC.Patran formats into ADINA and export from ADINA
