Narrow gaps are present in rotating and reciprocating machinery such as turbines, compressors, pistons, and gear pumps. These narrow gaps are often essential for the operation of the machinery, as leakage of the working fluid through the narrow gap provides...
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...
Shield tunneling using a large tunnel boring machine (TBM) is widely used to construct underground tunnels for subways. During tunneling, the soil strata substance is pressed, crushed, and removed by the TBM boring head. The shields, which are pushed along...
In ADINA v. 9.0, we introduced a new graphics engine that enables fast visualization and manipulation of large models in the ADINA User Interface (AUI). Since then, we have continued to make improvements so that FGM supports many more capabilities...
