Dynamite (DYnamics, Age and Metallicity Indicators Tracing Evolution) is a modelling tool for stellar population+dynamical modelling. It is based on an older code for Schwarzschild modelling in triaxial systems which is available here. Dynamite will extend this old code with a number of new features, including:

• discrete kinematics
• more flexible descriptions of line-of-sight velocity distributions
• population modelling
• smarter steps through parameter space
• GPU acceleration
• more flexible potentials
