Hello,
I think this is a feature request because I can't find how to make the Rocket Optimization tool to honor the minimum stability value throughout all of the motor burn.
If I set the required stability at 1.2 cal, and then vary the nose ballast mass to optimize the apogee altitude, a supersonic flight can be optimized to that at max velocity, has a stability of less than 1, or even negative stability.
So I have to run simulation after simulation manually plotting and checking the "stability margin calibers" for the duration of the motor burn, and tuning parameters manually.
