This application calculates 2D rocket motor grains, including stars and BATES types. It supports analytical and graphical calculations for various geometries and burnback simulations.

Top Recommended Alternative

  • Pros

    • Calculates analytical and graphical 2D grain geometries.
    • Supports star, moonburner, slotted, and BATES grains.
    • Automatic burnback calculation, including slivers.
    • Models cracks drawn with external programs.
    • Tabular input for burn depth vs. area/volume.

  • Cons

    • Limited to 2D grain designs.
    • Requires external drawing programs for crack modeling.
    • Image file input for grain geometry.

Developer’s Description

By AED
Design rocket motors and other gas generating devices.
Grain Design Program Lite (GDP) is capable of calculating all 2D-grains, like stars, moonburners, slotted grains, and BATES grains. Geometries are devided into four categories as simple stars are treated analytically, simple cylinders (like BATES), treated analytically, and aAll other shapes are calculated graphically. The user provides a file (.pcx, .gif, or .bmp) of the grain. GDP automatically finds burning areas and calculates burnback. This options allows full burn-back, including slivers. Even cracks can easily be drawn with a drawing program, and modeled. Tabular input allows grain input by entering burning area and burning volume as function of burn depth.
