ADINA is a commercial engineering simulation software program that is developed and distributed worldwide by ADINA R & D, Inc.[1] The company was founded in 1986 by Dr. Klaus-Jürgen Bathe,[2] and is headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, United States. On April 7, 2022, Bentley Systems acquired ADINA R&D, Inc.[3]

ADINA is used in industry and academia to solve structural, fluid, heat transfer, and electromagnetic problems.[4] ADINA can also be used to solve multiphysics problems, including fluid-structure interactions [5] and thermo-mechanical problems.

Some of ADINA's nonlinear structural analysis code is offered as the NX Nastran Advanced Nonlinear module, Sol 601/701.
