Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am simulating a Loc-IV kit powered off of a Aerotech 38mm HP SU DMS Motor - H100W-14A
This kit has no avionics, and instead uses a fixed time delay charge in order to deploy the parachute.
Currently RocketPy does not have the functionality to define the parachute deploy charge as a fixed time event.
This can be either a fixed time from burnout, or fixed time from launch. This depends on if the motor is a core burner or end burner.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to specify a time delay, here are the approaches I can come up with.
Additional context
Here is the code base I am currently working to which this problem is relevant.

I am willing to contribute to a fix, but this would be my first time contributing to a project so I may need some assistance.
