DynaFAD 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

DynaFAD 2. 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

3. Menus

DynaFAD Menu - File

DynaFAD Open (existing file *.fad)

DynaFAD Save or Save As (for future use)

DynaFAD Menu -Input (Please save each page before you leave)

DynaFAD Unit can be changed automatically for all your input Setting

DynaFAD For Your Convenience Unit of Force (kN, or kips) not (N, or lb) Unit Weight of Material (kN/m 3, or kips/ft 3 ) not (N/m 3, or lb/ft 3 ) 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
