In 1993, early versions of Dynomation™ became widely recognized by professional engine builders and racers as the world's leading high-performance engine simulation software. After nearly 20 years of successful application, continued testing, development and millions of dollars of further enhancement on the part of three companies (VP Engineering, Motion Software, Inc., and ProRacing Sim, LLC.) Dynomation-5™ is now available to all engine professionals and serious enthusiasts.

Software Overview: Setting new standards in simulation technology, Dynomation-5™ allows users to “look inside” a running engine! Dynomation-5™ lets you see and analyze the powerful wave dynamics controlling induction and exhaust flow. For the first time, anyone can explore the effects of runner lengths, port taper angles, header tubing and collector dimensions, cam timing interactions, and much more. No other device or computer program does a better job of helping you understand internal mass flow. Dynomation-5™ displays precisely how pressures and flow velocities vary at the valve/chamber interface. View induction and exhaust pressure pluses and mass flow data to gain unprecedented insight into why specific changes alter power and torque.

And Dynomation-5™ applies this tremendous modeling capability to a virtually unlimited range of engines, from humble single-cylinder engines to exotic V-12 racing powerplants. Design, build, and test a 1600hp ProStock engines, passenger-car daily drivers, exotic Sport-Compact Variable-Valve-Timing racers, or motorcycle engines (even those with megaphone exhaust systems)! With nearly one thousand built in shortblock configurations, a wide variety of domestic and import induction systems, hundreds of forced-induction choices, and much more, Dynomation-5™ will become your most valuable development tool.

User Interface And Features: Despite the awesome modeling power in Dynomation-5™, this simulation package was carefully designed to be easy and intuitive to use, even for beginners exploring engine dynamics for the first time! Are we exaggerating? Not at all. Supplied with an easy-to-read 300 page Users Manual, any user can learn how finite-amplitude waves (over 10,000 times "louder" than the typical sound waves we hear every day) move, change, and flow within the engine. By simply "playing" with Dynomation-5™, you can easily see charge reversion, in-tune and out-of-tune conditions in the intake and exhaust passages, how cam timing affects mass flow and much more. To see how easy Dynomation-5™ is to use, view the Dynomation-5™ Video. Because Dynomation has been so carefully crafted, it is the best educational tool on engine pressure-wave dynamics available anywhere, hands down! And this fact is no better exemplified by the 3D realtime-rendered, cutaway engine available within Dynomation-5™.

Dynomation-5™ includes a 3D cutaway engine with piston motion and gas-dynamic flow rendered in real-time and synchronized with the wave-dynamics, crank-angle results graphs. Simply, drag the graph pointer and watch the engine move through its cycles, visualizing mass flow, exhaust and intake pressure waves, flow velocities, and more throughout the entire 4-cycle process! With the 3D engine, Dynomation-5™ helps you see WHY an engine makes more power or, perhaps even more importantly, uncover and fix the reasons for poor performance.

Technical Overview: Everything about this new simulation is groundbreaking. Dynomation incorporates two distinct engine simulation models: 1) A Filling-And-Emptying simulation that provides extremely 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 Method-Of-Characteristics 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 and valve motion, and much more, providing unprecedented accuracy for the serious engine designer and builder.

By integrating these simulation technologies using a carefully-crafted Direct-Click™ user interface, engine data is seamlessly shared by both simulation models. Power, torque, engine pressures and more can be displayed independently, in comparison views, or in a HybridSim™, where simulation results from both methods are intelligently combined, building on the strengths of each modeling technology.

The complete Dynomation-5™ package includes a great deal more than this. You’ll also find hundreds of other features that have become ProRacing Sim’s trademarks, including: 1) rapid Iterative™ testing, 2) comprehensive CamManager™ camshaft, cylinder-head-flow and engine-file import, 3) several built-in calculators for compression ratio, airflow conversion, and cam-timing math, 4) multiple-engine analysis, side-by-side, and One-Click QuickComparisons™, 5) professional multi-page dyno-test reports, and much more. This is the most accurate, capable, and extensive engine simulation software package ever offered to the professional or engine enthusiast.
