Subject: [AR] dynamic stability

I am starting the process for getting a class 3 waiver for a rocket 
launch. Most of the FAA required documentation looks straight forward. 
One piece of information they require is "The dynamic stability 
characteristics for the entire flight profile." A static stability 
analysis is straight-forward, but I have never done a dynamic stability 
analysis.

How have folks on this list addressed this requirement? Is this software 
driven analysis or just hand-calculations? Does anyone have an analysis 
they could share? If software analysis is the norm, can anyone point me 
to affordable software?
