In the bad old days (early 90s) I used a patched conic solver.

I wager that there are tools to do that kicking around.

Paths with a gravity assist (handy!)

Someone's thesis (Matlab, again)

More Matlab (just adjust Mars till Saturn)

etc.

And there are half a dozen antique TDs about FORTRAN codes kicking around on the NASA TRS.

Reasons to not put off shit to the last moment. I'd say Google it.

I meant time constraints as in the theoretical mission time, not time to do the project. I have plenty of time to do the project. And I have googled it, but as per my original post, I could not find any that did more than a simple Hohmann transfer.

Then it's probably a trade secret, you should use what has been confirmed is fine. Not a reasoning for your OCD to kick in for. It is just a theoretical entry. Anything we build will be destroyed in jupiter/saturn atmosphere anyways.

Not “OCD” but mission time constraints based on his project. If you can’t help, instead of being flippant or dismissive, don’t comment.
