DYNA6 was recently released in February 2011. DYNA6 can calculate the frequency dependant stiffness and damping constant of both shallow and pile foundations to different types of dynamic loads. Please find attached a file that describes some of the program capabilities.

The main engine of DYNA6 is double precision for more accuracy and more stability of numerical processing, especially when you have soil layers with stark difference in shear wave velocity values and/or thickness.

Dyna6 is 32 bit and 64 bit, while DYNA5.4 is 32 bit. Thus, DYNA6 is compatible with Windows 7.

Significantly enhanced pre- and post-processors. They make data input and getting the results much more efficient and compatible with Excel. In addition, the program now allows for automatic storage of files in subdirectories according to the name of the file run and different cases. In the same time, the feel of the program didn't change. This means those who are familiar with DYNA5.4 will not find any difficulty working with DYNA6. As a matter of fact, we addressed in DYNA6 most of the complaints we received with regard to data entry to DYNA5.

Final difference the user will not feel, but the IT administrator will, is that the program does not create conflicts and much easier to implement on the server with more robust control with regard to license use.
