Solid Motor Compatibility #19

Closed RimorRes closed 3 years ago

RimorRes commented 4 years ago

Unlike liquid or hybrid rocket engines, solid motors do not have a consistent thrust or a throttle. We need to add a new feature allowing for the use of thrust curves as a thrust input.

RimorRes commented 4 years ago

Solid motor compatibility has been successfully implemented to some extent. Thrust curve .csv files can now be parsed to provide accurate thrust data at various times. However, we must allow the program to calculate thrust between the file's data points.
