Release Date: September 2023
Version: ADINA 2023
Version Number: 23.00.00.306
Product versioning for Bentley Systems is now based on the calendar year of the major release according to software industry practice. This is the first ADINA release following the new standard. The version number is v23.00.00.306, skipping versions 10 through 22 altogether.
Installation files for current and past ADINA releases can be downloaded from the Bentley Software Downloads page. After signing-in, the ADINA installers can be located by searching for ADINA.
There are no changes in licensing since version 9.9.0. The following information is restated for those upgrading from older versions, 9.8.2 and prior.
The ADINA User Interface and various solvers are now licensed through the Bentley Subscription Entitlement Service (SES), one of several CONNECT services common to all Bentley desktop applications. For details on the process refer to Understanding the Subscription Entitlement Service (SES) Workflow. Each Windows user needs to be registered and must sign in to the CONNECTION Client in order to use ADINA.
ADINA is now licensed in three tiers or editions.
ADINA Standard Edition authorizes use of the ADINA User Interface (ADINA AUI) and ADINA Structures. It also includes the ADINA-M Open CASCADE interface unless the ADINA Parasolid modeler option below is selected.
ADINA Advanced includes all standard edition functionality as well as the ADINA Thermal (ADINA-T) and ADINA Thermo-Mechanical Coupling (ADAINA-TMC) solutions.
ADINA Ultimate includes all ADINA solver functionality. This includes, but is not limited to, ADINA Computational Fluid Dynamics (ADINA CFD), ADINA Fluid-Structure Interaction (ADINA FSI), ADINA Electromagnetics (ADINA EM) and other multi-physics coupling such as and ADINA FSA/EM.
ADINA Parasolid Modeler is an optional Parasolid modeling module for advanced solid modeling capabilities. This requires a separate license.
The other CAD Interfaces are free with a current Bentley Systems subscription. These interfaces are available to all users that subscribe to a Bentley maintenance program. See here for more information.
All of the ADINA Editions and interfaces are installed with the single ADINA installer.
This version also supports Linux. For details on licensing the Linux version refer to: ADINA Installation & Licensing for Linux
Bentley is committed to continuously investigating and rectifying security vulnerabilities affecting its products and services. Regular checks and security fixes are a part of our releases to ensure better resilience. In this version updates were made to the version of Qt used in the user interface for the ADINA solver, graph view and adaptive meshing.

Linux:
The Linux computer must have Firefox and libssl.so.1.1 installed, otherwise the Linux installation will abort. Firefox and libssl.so.1.1 are used for Linux licensing. Instructions for installing Firefox and libssl.so.1.1 are distro-dependent. libssl.so.1.1 is a system library used with OpenSSL 1.1.1.
The speed of Cat 2 contact with the nonsymmetric solver is significantly improved, especially for large models when Cat 2 contact is used in conjunction with the nonsymmetric solver.
The dat file generation speed issue is improved for models with many RBE3 elements and contact groups.
New commands were added to support nonuniform partial-length beam loads and point loads along the length of a beam finite element. These commands are accessed in the AUI using Model – Loading – Apply on Nodes/Elements, or using Command-line. Refer to the ADINA User Interface Command Reference Manual and ADINA TMG – Solids & Structures for details on these new load options.
