1. Features
DynaFAD
•
DynaFAD is a software for dynamic foundation analysis and design
•
With DynaFAD, No manual work is required
•
DynaFAD calculates foundation properties, CG, Eccentricity of Footing
•
DynaFAD visual checks your input
•
DynaFAD assists you to prepare the input of other software
•
DynaFAD Can Read the output of other software, check industrial design criteria

Procedures
DynaFAD
•
Fill input (Setting, Blocks and Masses, Foundation, Soil, Loading, and Points)
•
Visual-Check the input
•
Export to the input file of other software
•
Run other software
•
Import output file of other software
•
Check industrial design criteria

Setting
Unit can be changed automatically for all your input
DynaFAD
For Your Convenience
•
Unit of Force (kN, or kips) not (N, or lb)
•
Unit Weight of Material (kN/m3, or kips/ft3) not (N/m3, or lb/ft3)
•
Unit for Pile Section Properties (mm, or in.) not (m, or ft)
•
All units will be transferred to appropriate unit as required for input file
DynaFAD
Blocks and Masses
DynaFAD
Foundation
DynaFAD
Input Pile Location by Grids
DynaFAD
Soil
(this page depends on Foundation page)
DynaFAD
Numbering of Soil Layers
•
For side Layers, numbering the layers from footing base up, the first layer is the
lowest level
•
For pile layered soil, numbering the layers from footing base down, the first layer is
the top level.
