Summary:
C: Design and simulate model rocket motors
Description:
C: >-
<p>openMotor is an open-source internal ballistics simulator for rocket motor experimenters. The software produces estimates
of a rocket motor's chamber pressure and thrust based on input such as propellant properties and grain geometry.
It uses the Fast Marching Method to determine how a propellant grain regresses, which allows the use of arbitrary core
geometries.</p>
<p>Current Features: * Metric and imperial units * Support for common grain geometries such as BATES, Finocyl, Star
and more * Loading custom grain geometry from DXF files * A propellant editor that allows the user to enter the properties
of as many propellants as they wish * The grain editor displays how a grain will regress to cut down on the
guesswork involved in tweaking geometry * ENG file exporting * Burnsim importing and exporting * A UI that supports
saving and loading designs along with undo and redo.</p>
<p>Planned Features: * Erosivity simulation * Detailed output of every calculated parameter at any time and position
along the motor</p>
