MEDINA consists of two modules:
* A FEM pre-processor (MEDINA.Pre)
* A FEM post-processor (MEDINA.Post)

In the '''pre-processor''', all steps are taken '''before''' the computation can start, i.e.:
* Import of geometry data from CAD system
* Import of associated metadata from the CAD-system or ]-system
* Import of FE-models
* Editing and repair of ] geometry
* Meshing
* Model structuring
* Definition of material parameters
* Definition of boundary conditions
* Definition of load cases
* Generation of the solver specific input deck

In the '''post-processor''' all steps are taken '''after''' the computation of the primary data of the solver is finished, e.g.:
* Determination of the derived secondary data
* Illustration of the results (graphics, animations)
* Export functionalities
* Generation of reports

Within the "model assembly process step", the individual FE components (part structures and connector elements) are merged into the FE model, representing products like vehicles, aircraft, etc.

Protocol and script techniques can automate single process steps or complete process chains. Dynamic commands enable the integration of client-specific plugins within (MEDINA's) standard functionality.

Model Editor Interactive for Numerical Simulation Analysis (MEDINA) is a piece of software utilized in the manufacturing and engineering sector to simulate the properties of objects designed using computer-aided design (CAD) before their fabrication. The development of MEDINA began in the early 1990s at Daimler-Benz AG, building on previous work carried out at "Debis Systemhaus". In 2001, T-Systems International GmbH took over the support and development of MEDINA. As of 2024, Medina is no longer mentioned on the T-Systems website - but appears on the website of Medina Software.

Architecture and interfaces

MEDINA was developed as a pre- and post-processing tool for various domains within finite element analysis (FEA). It is compatible with most widely used CAD formats, solver applications and can run on two operating systems: Linux and Microsoft Windows.

Characteristic

MEDINA was developed to handle complex simulation tasks and large finite element (FE) models efficiently.
