The Plotted Results tab with the Pull Down Plot Menu Options is shown in the following figure following by a brief description of the plots. These are plots of the values in the Tabular Output tab.

The following plots as a function of time (in seconds) since ignition of the rocket motor grain are available on the Plotted Results Pull Down Menu Tab:

• The PRESSURE is the Absolute Pressure inside the rocket motor upstream from the nozzle throat.
• The THRUST is force generated by combustion of the rocket motor grain.
• The IMPULSE is Force-Time integral of the propellant grain.
• The FLOW is the mass flow rate of combustion products generated by burning the propellant grain.
• The TEMP is the Adiabatic Flame Temperature of the rocket motor grain combustion products.
• The AREA is the Surface area remaining of the propellant grain combustion surface.
• The WEB is the depth burned into the rocket motor grain surface of the combustion flame front.

The results found on the Plotted Results tab are useful for copying and pasting into Word Documents for Report Documentation and comparison purposes.
