ADINA provides state-of-the-art stress capabilities for the analysis of solids and structures.

The analysis can be linear or highly nonlinear, static or dynamic, and may include geometric nonlinearities, large deformations, severe material nonlinearities, load nonlinearities, and contact conditions.

ADINA also offers implicit dynamic analysis, explicit dynamic analysis, and mode superposition time integration schemes, so any type of dynamic analysis can be solved.
