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.
For other questions about ADINA licensing, please file a Service Request using the Bentley Service Request Manager, available from the Bentley CONNECT Center.
To purchase a subscription, visit the ADINA webpage on Bentley.com https://www.bentley.com/software/adina/
Link for download is not working. Even not for Adina customers who have payed there fees and are still under service.
If you have converted to a Bentley subscription (A SELECT subscription, a Virtuosity subscription or an Enterprise agreement) then you should be able to access software downloads and get version 9.9 from here.
If you are still on ADINA R&D terms and licensing, with a renewal date sometime in 2023, then you can keep using version 9.8. If you need a link for 9.8 I can have one sent.
If you want to switch to Bentley terms before your normal renewal date, let me know and I can help to start that conversion process.
