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&apos;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</p>
