New Modeling Capabilities, Improved Accuracy, And Much More!
View Comparison Of Simulation Features

   In 1993, early versions of Dynomation™ became widely recognized by professional engine builders and racers as a truly useful engine simulation, combining robust modeling with unprecedented ease of use. After nearly 30 years of successful application and a small fortune spent on further development, Dynomation-6™ is now available to engine professionals, automo tive engineers, and serious enthusiasts of 4-stroke engines.

Software Overview: Dynomation-6 lets you peer inside a running engine! It reveals (otherwise invisible) pressure waves and mass flow in cylinders and engine passages. Dynomation-6 will accurately display how much power an engine will produce, but it will also show you why it makes that power and where you should put your efforts to optimize performance!
   Although Dynomation-6 is well known for accuracy and a feature-rich interface, it is remarkably easy to use. All engine components and specifications are clearly visible. Change components simply by clicking on any Direct-Click™ menu. Dynomation-6 is intuitive; it encourages you to “play” and explore your ideas. With Dynomation-6 you’ll quickly zero-in on the best combination of components for your application!

   Dynomation-6 allows anyone to explore the effects of runner lengths, port taper-angles, header and collector dimensions, cam-timing interactions, and much more. No other device or computer program does a better job of helping you understand IC (internal combustion) mass flow and how it affects engine performance. Graphs display how pressures and flow velocities vary at the valve/chamber interface. Easy-to-read graphs and tables give you an unprecedented insight into why specific changes alter power and torque.

   You can apply Dynomation-6 modeling to a virtually an unlimited range of engines, from humble single-cylinder engines to exotic V-12 racing powerplants. Design, build, and test a nearly 2000hp ProStock engine or design passenger-car daily drivers, Dynomation-6 will not only meet your engine simulation needs, it will become your most valuable development tool!

User Interface And Features: Despite the considerable modeling power in Dynomation-6, this engine simulation was built from the ground-up to be intuitive and easy to use, even for beginners exploring flow dynamics for the first time! Are we exaggerating? Not at all. Supplied with a clear 300+ page Users Manual, any user can learn how finite-amplitude pressure waves (over 10,000 times "louder" than the typical sound waves) move, change, and flow within the engine. For example, Dynomation-6 can visualize charge reversion on particle velocity graphs, clearly showing in-tune and out-of-tune conditions in the intake and exhaust passages. Because Dynomation-6 has been carefully crafted for ease of use (see our Feature-Focus: New Roll-Up Menus), it is one of the best educational tools to study engine pressure-wave dynamics available anywhere, hands down! And this fact is no better exemplified by the 3D, real-time rendered, cutaway engine that can be displayed within Dynomation-6.

Mass Flow Visualization: Dynomation-6 includes a 3D cutaway engine with piston, valve motion and gas-dynamic flow rendered in real-time and synchronized with the crank-angle results graphs. Simply drag the graph pointer on any crank-angle graph through the 720-degrees of the 4-Cycle process, and you‘ll see the engine move through its cycles, visualize mass flow, exhaust and intake pressure waves, flow velocities, and more! The 3D engine in Dynomation-6 helps you see the relationship between crank-angle graphs and actual engine flow.

Technical Overview: Dynomation-6 incorporates two distinct engine simulation models: 1) A Filling-And-Emptying (FE) simulation that provides fast mathematical solutions to engine physics, including flow analysis and common intake- and exhaust-manifold modeling, making this technique a uniquely powerful and rapid way to "ballpark" engine design with very good accuracy, and 2) A full Wave-Dynamics (WA) simulation that accurately predicts the complex pressure-wave dynamics and particle flow in intake and exhaust ducting. The Wave-Action model picks up where the Filling-And-Emptying method leaves off and "homes in" on the best port sizes, shapes, runner lengths, header-tubing sizes, cam timing, valve motion, and much more, providing unprecedented accuracy for the serious engine designer and builder.

   The complete Dynomation-6 package includes a great deal more. You’ll also find hundreds of other features including: 1) rapid Iterative™ testing [explained below], 2) a comprehensive CamManager™ tool, 3) import CamPro, CamProPlus, S96, and CamDoctor profile cam files, also model and import 10-point cam files (Dynomation-6 comes with a comprehensive library of both 10-ponit and profile cam files), plus import cylinder-head-flow and engine files, 3) several built-in calculators for compression ratio, airflow conversion, rocker-arm math, cam-timing math, 4) multiple-engine analysis, side-by-side, and One-Click QuickComparisons™, 5) professional multi-page ProPrinting™ dyno-test reports, and more. This is the most accurate, capable, and complete engine simulation software package ever offered to the professional engine builder or avid enthusiast.

Unique Motion Software Features: In addition to our advanced simulation technology, here are some additional features in Dynomation-6 that were designed and developed by Motion Software, Inc., and are unique to our simulations:
