A new piece of rocket design software has been released. Called libreocket, the software only supports finding the center of pressure. Developers are wanted, so if you know someone who can help me add features and a graphical user interface to the software it would be greatly appreciated if you would point them to its github page. Some computer skills are required to install and run. Available at https://github.com/Ross04/librerocket/releases/tag/v0.1, github developer page at https://github.com/Ross04/librerocket.
 
Perhaps you could show screen shots of what you have achieved so far
 
Here is a picture of it in action. It only run on a command line now (sadly). (edit: I realized a yardstick of performance might be useful, as a result I have included the openrocket file the rocket shown was derived from.)

so are you assuming that all parts are made from the same material?
 
No. Here is a short explanation of how it works so you understand why the material a rocket is made of does not currently matter for this software. When using the software you type in assorted important numbers (see https://github.com/Ross04/librerocket/wiki/User-manual) that you would enter in any software. This software only uses numbers directly related to center of pressure. It then processes the information using pure barrowman methods. Processing yields a number in millimeters that indicates center of pressure location as measured from the tip of the nose cone. Data about the material used should not affect this number, therefore the software does not have an input for this.
