Dear Colleague,
1. As you may know, ADINA is extensively used in teaching and research
at universities all around the world. If you are not already a university user,
you may be interested in the following announcement:

2. For an overview of the comprehensive multiphysics capabilities of ADINA see
the following page:
In this Tech Brief, we present two interesting fluid-structure interaction problems involving adaptive meshing and physical instability
We have recently added the ADINA Electromagnetics module (ADINA-EM) to our wide range of multiphysics offerings. Using this module, the general Maxwell's equations can be effectively solved and the resulting electric and magnetic fields can be coupled to the fluid flow. For details please see:

Accurate Implicit Time Integration in Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
Using an effective time marching procedure is an important aspect in the implicit finite element analysis
of nonlinear dynamic problems. Here, we demonstrate some of the difficulties that can arise through an
example involving contact chatter and fluid structure interaction:
1. We highlight a study performed by researchers using ADINA in which they investigated a computational approach to construct patient-specific ventricle models based on in vivo cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging for surgical planning and optimization. The study was motivated by the fact that the use of such computational models can help to assess different surgical hypotheses and replace empirical and perhaps risky clinical experimentation. For more information please see
ADINA offers a comprehensive array of multiphysics capabilities tightly integrated in one program:
* 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
1. We present an interesting application of ADINA FSI in the study of carpal tunnel syndrome. The analyses involve large deformations and contact of multiple flexible bodies which are immersed in a fluid:
