The Interior Ballistics analysis will calculate the velocity, breech and base pressure,
linear and angular accelerations of the projectile during travel down the barrel. Baer-Frankle uses
a numerical integration method to predict interior ballistics. Unlike the Empirical Interior Ballistics,
the Baer-Frankle method examines the burning of the individual propellant grains and therefore,
requires detailed knowledge of the propellant grain geometry and burn characteristics as well as
ignitor and gun parameters.
In this portion of the tutorial we will:
- Import Propellant data from a PRODAS reference book
- Import Ignitor data from a PRODAS reference book
- Check inputs passed through from mass properties
- Check the Gun Parameters inputs that were imported from a PRODAS reference book
during the Empirical Interior Ballistics section of this tutorial.
- Learn about Free Travel
- Run the analysis first for a single solution to check the inputs
- Run the analysis to match a Pressure
- Review the results
