  Description     : internal ballistics simulator for rocket motor exper

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. 

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.

Planned Features:
 * Erosivity simulation
 * Detailed output of every calculated parameter at any time and position 
   along the motor
