ADINA CONNECT Edition Version 9.09.00.174 has been released

This is the first full Bentley release of the ADINA System. Release notes are installed with the product but also available here.
The program installation is available through Software Downloads searching for ADINA.
The ADINA User Interface and various solvers are now licensed through the Bentley Subscription Entitlement Service (SES), one of several CONNECT services common to all Bentley desktop applications. For details on the process refer to Understanding the Subscription Entitlement Service (SES) Workflow. Each Windows user needs to be registered and must sign in to the CONNECTION Client in order to use ADINA
 

The ADINA System is now licensed in three tiers or editions.

ADINA Standard Edition authorizes use of the ADINA User Interface (ADINA AUI) and ADINA Structures. It also includes the ADINA-M Open CASCADE interface unless the ADINA Parasolid modeler option below is selected.

ADINA Advanced includes all standard edition functionality as well as the ADINA Thermal (ADINA-T) and ADINA Thermo-Mechanical Coupling (ADINA-TMC) solutions.

ADINA Ultimate includes all ADINA solver functionality. This includes, but is not limited to, ADINA Computational Fluid Dynamics (ADINA CFD), ADINA Fluid-Structure Interaction (ADINA FSI), ADINA Electromagnetics (ADINA EM) and other multi-physics coupling such as ADINA FSI/EM.

ADINA Parasolid Modeler is an optional Parasolid modeling module for advanced solid modeling capabilities. This requires a separate license.

The other CAD Interfaces are free with a current Bentley Systems subscription. This is activated through a license called Structural SELECT Entitlements.

All of the ADINA Editions and interfaces are installed with the single ADINA installer. This is a Windows only release, we expect a Linux version in 2023.
