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
