ADINA is known for its powerful capabilities in the solution of fluid structure interaction (FSI) problems. For many years, ADINA FSI solutions have been used successfully for many applications in a wide range of industries. Although ADINA FSI is a...
Blow molding is a process frequently used to manufacture hollow plastic objects such as bottles and tanks. A molten plastic tube (parison) is extruded into the mold and pinched at one end. Compressed air is then blown into the parison...
Bolts are an integral part of engineering designs, and bolted structures can show a complex mechanical behavior. Not long ago, bolted structural parts were commonly treated as rigidly connected. With recent advances in computer-aided modeling and finite element analysis, engineers...
In fluid flow analysis, we ideally can use relatively coarse meshes and still get reasonable solutions in the flow and pressure predictions, even for high Reynolds and Peclet number flows. We would also like to have a true consistent tangent...
Since the time of Leonardo Da Vinci, it has been recognized that the sinuses behind the aortic valve leaflets produce vortices that aid in closure with minimal trans-valvular pressure.

The animation shows particle tracing in a 2-D fluid-structure interaction problem. A periodic normal traction load is applied to the left boundary of the model. This load forces the fluid to flow over the flexible structure. Since the load is...
The need to study the coupled behavior between fluids and structures in the presence of heat effects arises in many applications, including heat exchangers, disc brake cooling, components mounted on printed circuit boards, and coolant pipes in power plants, among...
Roof crush laboratory tests (simulating rollover car behavior) usually take 10 to 30 seconds to crush the car to the required maximum displacement of the crushing panel. Therefore, it is clearly an almost static or quasi-static problem. It is apparent...
