Why does AUTODYN sometimes look like it is not running and the screen stops refreshing?

      Actually AUTODYN didn’t stop running. When nothing refreshes in the AUTODYN View panel, it means AUTODYN is transferring data between your computer memory and hard disk, or saving a history file or save file at a certain cycle. This generally happens when you have a slow computer, have a small internal memory on your computer, you have too many windows or files opened, or you are running a very big problem. It will take a certain time (in seconds or more) to refresh the AUTODYN window for these cases. You can change screen refresh from Automatic to Manual. This will save you time by only refreshing the screen when it is necessary.
