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...
In today’s world of modern and exotic engineering materials, it is easy to overlook the importance of inexpensive yet extremely useful materials such as gray cast iron. Some of the reasons for cast iron’s continued use in industry include its...
Various tube and bar end forming technologies are widely used in the manufacturing industry. We present, in the above animation, an analysis of one such technology known as swaging.

A distinguishing feature in ADINA is that the elements, contact algorithms, etc. are all implemented without using any artificial factors. The use of these factors in industry generally lead to much numerical experimentation and uncertainty about the reliability and accuracy...
We present particle traces and additional results from the artificial lung analysis discussed in the ADINA System Newsletter of June 2002. Please refer to the Newsletter for additional information about the artificial lung analysis.
