Release Date: January 2024
Version: ADINA 2023 Update 1
Version Number: 23.00.01.16
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 Minor release following the 2023 version, thus version 23.00.01.16.
Installation files for current and past RAM Concept releases can be downloaded from the Bentley Software Downloads page. After signing-in, the ADINA installers can be located by searching for ADINA.
There have been no changes in licensing since the last version. ADINA is still licensed in 3 tiers, ADINA, ADINA Advanced and ADINA Ultimate with an optional ADINA Parasolid Modeler interface that works with any tier.
The Bentley licensing component for Linux was updated in this release to support the use of a checked-out license to a Linux machine with a period "." in the host name.
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 Bentley Connection Client and License Client.
| Platform | Operating system | Fortran compiler | Intel MKL library |
| Windows | Windows 8, 8.1, 10, 11 | Intel Fortran Compiler Classic, version 2022.1.0 | MKL 2022.1.0 |
| Linux | Linux kernel 5.4 and higher, glibc 2.31 and higher |
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.
1299001: AUI-Plot could not load porthole file when RESULTS=OP2+PORT was specified in the MASTER command due to duplicated results. The error was "Error reading ADINA porthole file."
1288286: A Core dump error could occur in AUI when using Parasolid Modeler to define Sewn Bodies. This only occurred with a specific series of steps selecting bodies from table after receiving a message about Missing Geometry.
1269938: In AUI Post-Processing, the Reaction plot of distributed contact traction should have a maximum value in red. Instead, it was sometimes orange. Furthermore, the shape of the distributed contact traction should be trapezoidal in shape for non-uniform traction. When using Fast Graphics this would display in flat steps. This could also affect plotted non-uniform beam loads, but only in Fast Graphics mode.
1213074: With some graphics adapters, the background color would not immediately change based on user input.
1327616: In AUI the solution time indicated for a MESHPLOT may have the wrong solution time. This happened when the current time step size was large, but the current solution time required many significant digits to display properly.
1321596: In ADINA Structures, when initial velocity was defined in the model, the initial kinetic energy result was not correct, it was double the correct value.
1304952: For large CFD and/or FSI problems, stack overflow may have occurred. This situation cannot be predicted, since it depends on the specific problem and the system. When encountered, the process stops without solution, but did not affect the solution quality otherwise.
1308917: For a Femap model with 2D contact surfaces, Transor for Femap will translate it into a Nastran file with BEDGE commands, and AUI will create the corresponding element edge sets when importing the Nastran file. However, if the Femap model also had thermal loadings (heat flux, convection, radiation, and heat generation) or FSI boundaries applied to the edges of 2D solid elements, additional element edge set IDs may overlap with those from the 2D contact surfaces causing edge loads to be applied incorrectly.
No changes were made to the other ADINA documentation for this version except that the pdf files now allow information to be copied to the clipboard.
