Text Box: ADINA User Interface

The ADINA User Interface provides the complete pre- and post-processing capabilities for all the ADINA solution programs. The ADINA User Interface offers a fully interactive graphical user interface for all the modeling and post-processing tasks.


   

Key features of the ADINA User Interface include:

· Model geometry may be directly created, imported from various CAD systems that support Parasolid (e.g. NX, SolidEdge and SolidWorks), or imported through the IGES interface. 

· Physical properties, loads and boundary conditions can be assigned directly on the model geometry. Finite element meshes can thus be modified without affecting the model definition. 

· Fully automatic mesh generation can be used on general geometry with flexible control over element size distribution. Mapped meshing can be used on simpler geometry. 

· Session file keeps track of user input and selection during model creation. The entire model can be recreated by playing back the session file. A different model can also be created by modifying the session file.

 

The ADINA User Interface has many easy-to-use features such as:

· A fully interactive graphical interface with pull-down menus and dialog boxes for selection of options and input of values.

· Icons for quick access to commonly used tasks.

· Copy and paste feature for the graphics window.

· Direct creation of AVI movies within the program.

· Output of graphics in vector or bitmap formats.

· Undo and redo features. Number of undos allowed can be customized.

· Dynamic rotation, zooming, and panning of the model.

· Support of command file input for often repeated tasks.

 

In post-processing, the wide range of result visualization tools include:

· Deformed and original mesh plots.

· Band and contour plots.

· Vector and tensor plots.

· Plotting of variables on graphs.

· Listing of variable values on screen or file.

· Definition of resultant variables from output variables.
