ADINA System 9.3.2The ADINA System offers a one-system program for comprehensive finite element analyses of structures, fluids, and fluid flows with structural interactions. The analysis capabilities range from solving simple structural, heat transfer or fluid flow problems to solving complex multiphysics problems, all using the same program system. – Displacement and stress analysis of solids and structures– Heat transfer analysis– Incompressible and compressible fluid flows– Fluid-structure interaction (FSI)– Thermo-mechanical coupling (TMC)– Structural-pore pressure coupling (porous media)– Thermal-fluid-structural coupling– Electric field-structural coupling(piezoelectric)– Thermal-electrical coupling (Joule heating)– Acoustic fluid-structural coupling– Fluid flow-mass transfer coupling The ADINA User Interface (AUI) uses the Parasolid kernel as its geometry engine. Hence, users of NX and SolidEdge can easily import their Parasolid-based geometry models (parts and...
ThermoAnalytics TAITherm 12.1.1ThermoAnalytics, Inc., a leading provider of thermal and infrared simulation software and services, announce the release of Taitherm (ex-Radtherm) version 12.0, is the industry’s most complete and flexible thermal modeling program, one that predicts the full range of temperature distribution in your product or system. TAITherm applies a multi-physics approach to solve for thermal conduction, radiation, and convection under both steady-state and transient conditions. Nearly twenty years ago the ThermoAnalytics’ founders created a radiation-only solver, aptly named RadTherm. In the past two decades this software has evolved to include all of the different modes of heat transfer: radiation, conduction, convection, as well as advection. As we launch version 12.0, the latest release of our software suite, it is...
