OpenRocket is rocket simulator software with extensive features that allow you to design and simulate your rockets before actually built and flown .

OpenRocket simulation modeling features using 6 degrees of freedom of the wind with full and realistic wind modeling . Many different modeling , including the shape of the fins , flippers oblique , clustering and staging .

OpenRocket is open source software licensed under the GNU GPL . This means that the software is free to use for any purpose , and rumber code available to be developed and studied .

Features :

general :
Fully cross - platform , written in Java
Simulation method is fully documented
Open source is licensed under the GNU GPL

User interface :
The user interface is easy to use on a rocket design
Appearances real time to position the CG and CP
With real time flight altitude , velocity and acceleration information from the simulation to be conducted on an ongoing basis and performed in the background
The view can be enlarged with a view from the side or back of the rocket , with rotation around the central axis

design :
You can choose a lot of components available
Support for trapezoidal fin shape , elliptical and free form
Support for canted fins
Support for staging and clustering
Automatic calculation of component mass and CG based on shape and density
Ability to override mass and CG components or stages separately

Simulation and analysis :
Simulation of a full six degrees of freedom
Stability rocket calculated using extended Barrowman method
Realistic wind modeling
Analysis of the effect of separate components on the stability , drag and roll characteristics for rocket
Planning is fully configurable , with a range of standard on figures.
Simulation data can be exported to a CSV file for further analysis

Current version:java -jar OpenRocket-13.11.2.jar

Note : The Java Runtime Environment is required to run this software .
