ADINA Structures provides state-of-the-art FEA capabilities for the stress analysis of solids (2D and 3D) and structures in statics and dynamics.

The analysis can be linear or highly nonlinear, including effects of material nonlinearities, thermal effects, large deformations and contact conditions.

The ADINA FEA program offers versatile and generally applicable finite elements for solids, trusses, beams, pipes, plates, shells and gaps.

Material models for metals, soils and rocks, plastics, rubber, fabrics, wood, ceramics and concrete are available.
