software for modeling complex ballistic projectiles
software for modeling complex ballistic projectiles
(OP)
Does anyone have leads on software packages for modeling ballistic projectiles or "vehicles" (implying something more complex than a projectile, like a UAV for example)?
In particular I am interested in:
- porous drag components - chutes, ballutes, trailing strips, etc.
- non-axisymmetric mass, geometry.
Thrust systems should be handled, controllable guidance fins would be nice.
"Outputs" I would like to see include aerodynamic and stability properties, 6DOF trajectory simulation.
Many thanks!
