I would like to be able to select an ACME fin can as my fin choice in RocSim 8. Does ACME provide a RocSim file? When I select 'fins' for my rocket I would like a fifth option : "pre-made fin cans" or something to that effect.

If there is already a way to select an ACME fincan or other (?) fin can assemblies I would really appreciate how to locate them and implement them.

If you can weigh and measure one, you can create a
sub-assembly and save it your database. basically just like saving a design.
 
I believe the Acme fin cans are included in the Giant Leap materials rocksim database file, available for download here
 
I have two files for Acme fin cans. Attached is the 38mm version.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the files. They are a big step in the direction I want.

My goal is to be able to select the fin can assy. by clicking on fins on the menu, choose 'fin can', and be able to manipulate its location with respect to the owning body tube (inside, outside, and anywhere along its length).

Thanks again,

How would I change the acme fin can rocsim files to sub assembly?
 
Thanks for the Files also.. I knew there were some where I just have not looked for them that hard.
