Multiphysics Capabilities of ADINA
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
Elasto-Plastic Analysis of metal component with Cyclic Loading
Hi,
I am pursuing my master's in Mech. Engg. and working on Abaqus for FEA of components. In one of the analysis,
I am required to apply cyclic loading on the component to determine the Stresses at the edges. Its a compression
cyclic loading with kinematic hardening taken into account. From the documentation for ABAQUS 6.9.1, I found that
in order to apply kinematic hardening in metals, one must take it as Combined (Isotropic + Kinematic) Hardening.
The two concerns I have about this analysis are:
Solving nonlinear equilibrium problem
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica
Hi!
I am trying to solve (for equilibrium points) a geometrically nonlinear problem of the form
f(u) = F
where u is the displacement and F is the load. At first I tried the plain
Newton method, with, perhaps obviously, limited success. I then tried to use
linesearch and trustregion strategies to improve the situation. Eventually, however,
I realized that I needed to use some form of continuation method. Though the most
commonly used methods in mechanics seems to be based on gradually increasing the

Micro-sphere Model
Hi all,
I am currently working on micro-sphere model like the one used by Miehe, Ihlemann and Pawleski. I wonder if someone know a FEM code who use this type of model.
Thanks a lot

how to model a 3-D crack in ansys
i want to create a crack in a cantilever beam, but i m new in this field. please tell me how to model a crack in beam when beam is meshed using 1) beam elements 2) solid elements?
please refer any good tutorials in this field.
FSI Analysis to Understand Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
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:
