The animation shows the dynamic analysis of a simplified piping system, similar to those used in nuclear power plants. The analysis is performed using the ADINA subsonic potential-based fluid elements to model the water in the pipe and the ADINA...
Has it ever occur to you that your structural engineering project is tight on time yet you are having doubt on your design? Even if you’ve got the best design tools at hand, you might find yourself asking questions like...
Mass flow rate, , is the mass of fluid passing through a boundary per unit of time. It is defined as:

MET S.p.A. is a leading sports helmet manufacturer based in Talamona, Italy. Engineers at MET have used ADINA successfully to analyze their new helmet design. Depicted in the above animation are the stress contours of the helmet in their simulation...
Sweden has 10 nuclear power reactors providing nearly half of its electricity. Due to the current concern for optimal energy sources, many Swedes consider nuclear power a good option when competitiveness and environmental impact are taken into account. As nuclear...
In modern earthquake engineering, design for seismic isolation has become increasingly important for the prevention of devastating damage in a major earthquake. One effective and practical method for seismic isolation is the use of friction pendulum bearings, of which many...
