Performance At Your Fingertip
MEDINA
MEDINA is the ideal CAE software for demanding simulation tasks in the transportation industry. As a powerful pre- and post-processor, MEDINA supports common CAD formats and FE calculation programs.
Functions
Assembly management and structural organization
The software supports a hierarchical part tree structure for efficient management of complex simulation models. This allows assemblies, modular solver inputs, and simulation variants to be quickly created, updated, and flexibly developed.
Static and animated result visualisation
Powerful post-processing functions enable efficient analysis of large result sets through visualization and integrated testing and validation tools. Automation, expandability, and session logging increase productivity and traceability while sustainably reducing development costs.
Customizable graphical user interface
The software offers an intuitive, configurable user interface with full command line control. Functions such as CAD import, geometry preparation, meshing, and boundary condition definition are seamlessly integrated, enabling an efficient 2D and 3D workflow.
High-performance processing of large models
The CAE solution impresses with its high performance when processing complex CAD geometries, large FE models, and extensive result data. Full transparency and control enable quick access to all relevant information—for rapid analysis and targeted improvement of product quality.

Application Example – Doctoral Thesis by R. Noé Fararoni Platas
The study inveastigates a full-scale wood composite connection between a column and ceiling made of spruce CLT and beech LVL inserts. Experiments and FE simulations show that the full-scale model accurately reproduces the failure behavior of the full-size connection, allowing the load-bearing capacity to be transferred from the model to the prototype using a dimensional analysis. For the numerical work, preprocessing was performed using MEDINA, which was selected for its speed and ease of creating hexahedral meshes.
