RPL Engine Workbench · local Apple silicon workflow
The pressure-fed engine design workbench for this design cycle.
Size the engine, injector, and nozzle; export DXF contours and review-ready reports; and inspect nozzle/plume behavior in Flowfield Studio from one local Apple silicon app.
The $199 six-month term is Academic Pro Semester: educational, non-commercial use for a verified student. Commercial licenses are on the pricing page. Use remains subject to engineering judgment, safety review, export-control and sanctions compliance, and license terms.

Integrated propulsion workflow
Fewer spreadsheet handoffs. More consistent assumptions.
Use one native workbench to move from chamber targets and propellant choices to injector sizing, nozzle contours, DXF export, reports, and flowfield visualization. The same solved case drives the geometry, review outputs, and inspection views.
Fast pressure-fed iteration
Evaluate cases from thrust, mass flow, throat diameter, injector geometry, or feed tank pressure without rebuilding the workflow each time.
Injector sizing
Size doublets, triplets, and showerhead concepts with orifice sizing, pressure drop, momentum ratio, ligament checks, and O/F consistency.
Nozzle geometry
Generate bell, conical, and TIC contours from solved engine states, then inspect throat, exit, length, expansion, and separation context.
Local desktop execution
Run the core workflow locally on Apple silicon Mac. No cloud requirement, no browser-based engineering state, no remote compute dependency.
Integrated flowfield visualization for design insight and validation planning.
Flowfield Studio gives engineers a built-in way to inspect nozzle and plume behavior during design. It supports density-gradient views, plume visualization, residual status, transient playback, and export tools in the same workflow that defines the engine case.
Final decisions remain grounded in qualified engineering review and test data; Flowfield Studio is designed to make the comparison and validation-planning process faster and more traceable.

Geometry and DXF export
Move solved nozzle contours into CAD without rebuilding the profile manually.
RPL Engine Workbench exports nozzle geometry as DXF for CAD review, machining discussions, and downstream design handoff. The export is tied to the solved case, so geometry and report assumptions stay aligned.
Contour workflows Bell, conical, and TIC nozzle profiles.
CAD handoff DXF output for profile review and machining reference.
Traceability Geometry, warnings, and performance basis stay connected to the same solve.
Export solved nozzle contours for CAD review and machining discussions.
Reports collect solved outputs, assumptions, warnings, and export context.
Reports and exports
Share solved cases with the assumptions visible.
Generate engineering reports, images, charts, and Flowfield media for design reviews. Reports are built to communicate what was solved, which assumptions were used, and where engineering review or validation work remains necessary.

Academic, team, and business licenses for Apple silicon Mac.
Academic licenses are for non-commercial, educational use only; Business licenses permit commercial use. Basic covers sizing, injector/nozzle workflows, DXF export, and reports; Pro adds the full Flowfield Studio (steady preview + transient playback) and VTK export. Business Pro runs Flowfield at the highest resolution.
Start with the built-in trial, then buy the tier that fits your work. License scope, support scope, and compliance responsibilities are stated in the applicable terms.
Practical walkthroughs for the full engine workflow.
Tutorials are organized around the steps engineers repeat most: setting up a case, choosing propellants, sizing the nozzle, exporting DXF geometry, sizing injectors, running Flowfield Studio, reading residuals, and exporting reports or media.
