ADINA Tech Briefs features more than 200 case studies demonstrating different
capabilities of ADINA for simulating structures, heat transfer, fluid flows,
electromagnetics and multiphysics. The Briefs also present a wide range of
applications of ADINA in different industries.
ADINA R&D, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Dr. K.J. Bathe and associates. The exclusive
mission of the company is the development of the ADINA System for linear and nonlinear finite
element analysis of solids and structures, heat transfer, CFD and electromagnetics. ADINA also
offers a comprehensive array of multiphysics capabilities including fluid-structure interaction
and thermo-mechanical coupling. Some of the nonlinear structural analysis capabilities of
ADINA are offered as Solution 601/701 of NX Nastran by Siemens PLM Software.
ADINA offers a wide range of capabilities based on reliable and efficient finite element
procedures. For this reason, ADINA is often selected for applications where reliability is of
critical importance, e.g., dynamic analysis of bridges.
CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) (in English usually
pronounced /kti/) is a multi-platform CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software suite developed
by the French company Dassault Systemes. Written in the C++ programming language, CATIA
is the cornerstone of the Dassault Systemes product lifecycle management software suite.
CATIA competes in the high-end CAD/CAM/CAE market with Creo Elements/Pro and NX
(Unigraphics).
Industries
CATIA can be applied to a wide variety of industries, from aerospace and defense, automotive,
and industrial equipment, to high tech, shipbuilding, consumer goods, plant design, consumer
packaged goods, life sciences, architecture and construction, process power and petroleum, and
services. CATIA V4, CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER, NX (formerly Unigraphics), and SolidWorks
are the dominant systems[citatio
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a cross-functional enterprise system driven by an
integrated suite of software modules that supports the basic internal business processes of a
company. ERP gives a company an integrated real-time view of its core business processes such
as production, order processing, and inventory management, tied together by ERP applications
software and a common database maintained by a database management systems. ERP systems
track business resources (such as cash, raw materials, and production capacity) and the status of
commitments made by the business (such as customer orders, purchase orders, and employee
payroll), no matter which department (manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, and so on)
has entered the data into the system. ERP facilitates information flow between all business
functions inside the organization, and manages connections to outside stakeholders.[1]
Enterprise system software is a multi-billion dollar industry that produces components that
support a variety of business functions. IT investments have become the largest category of
capital expenditure in United States-based businesses over the past decade. Enterprise systems
are complex software packages that offer the potential of integrating data and processes across
functions in an enterprise. Although the initial ERP systems focused on large enterprises, there
has been a shift towards smaller enterprises also using ERP systems.[2]
Organizations consider the ERP system a vital organizational tool because it integrates varied
organizational systems and enables flawless transactions and production. However, an ERP
system is radically different from traditional systems development.[3] ERP systems can run on a
variety of computer hardware and network configurations, typically employing a database as a
repository for information.[4]
Ansys
Products Overview
ANSYS offers engineering simulation solution sets in engineering simulation that a design
process requires. Companies in a wide variety of industries use ANSYS software. The tools put a
virtual product through a rigorous testing procedure (such as crashing a car into a brick wall, or
running for several years on a tarmac road) before it becomes a physical object.
