A computer system, for manufacturing a solid rocket motor nozzle using additive manufacturing, inputs into a temperature field algorithm at least one design parameter for the solid rocket motor nozzle. The temperature field algorithm generates a first temperature field for an initial solid rocket motor nozzle design. The first temperature field is provided to a nozzle-geometry optimization algorithm. The nozzle-geometry optimization algorithm generates a first updated solid rocket motor nozzle design. The temperature field algorithm then generates a second temperature field for the first updated solid rocket motor nozzle design. The second temperature field is provided to the nozzle-geometry optimization algorithm. The nozzle-geometry optimization algorithm generates a second updated solid rocket motor nozzle design. When the second updated solid rocket motor nozzle design meets a specified project requirement, the computer system generates a file for additively manufacturing the second updated solid rocket motor nozzle design.
