Hi! I'm new here and just wanted to ask a few questions. I'm a total beginner so I apologise if these are too basic or obvious.
I need to design a model rocket that is less than 180 cm in length and is capable of carrying a 1 kg payload, deploying it at 1km and then safely landing after.
So...
So I exported this part as a OBJ in Openrocket
When I opened the file in Autodesk inventor is is 1200cm long as shown here:
IS this a glitch with autodesk or openrocket? If its with autodesk it might be harded to solve as this thread wont be able to help with that. I really want to get this...
Last week, I finished my scratch 3-inch Goblin, The Great Hobgoblin. I haven't been able to fly it yet and I am planning to Level 1 next Sunday with it. The weather hasn't been great and I didn't get a chance to get out to Harsel, Colorado. I had thoughts of heading down to Alamosa, Co. for...
Hello. I have a lot of experience designing rockets in open rocket. However, I want to move on to a CAD program like grab cad or solidworks for rockets. I plan to 3-D print some. What are the best programs, and would I still have to model them for stability and aerodynamics in open rocket? Thanks.
Team - long time to chat.. life gets in the way, yadda yadda...
I finally bit, and bought myself a 3d printer, so I am working on lots of CAD fun with Fusion 360..
I am looking to make some sleds for my Eggfinder Minis, Eggtimer Quantum's and RRC3..
Here's the ask: does anyone have decent 3d...
Hello everyone,
Well ı want to produce 10 cm diameter 3:1 von karman nose cone and ı set equations but dont idea how to apply in solidworks/catia can anybody help me to make in cad program?
And ı heard about von karman nose cones is too Hard to produce with 3d printer cause cant giving to shape...
Greetings!
I'm trying to model the boat tail of the MAC Performance FireStickXL - 3" dia. rocket and I've hit a wall.
After researching and some trial and error (/cough manual searching in the 'data') in Excel I figured out how to calculate the Ogive radius thanks to this website but I'm still...
Not sure if this is already up... did a search and didn't see it so I'll make one.
I'd like to get a hold of a CAD model of the Raven altimeter. I contacted the company and they sent me some "cad" files but they are actually just the Eagle board schematics and Solid Edge (CAD software I use)...
I've been designing a simple one stage rocket with OpenRocket, which allows the user to design and simulate their designs. I was always told that a general rule of thumb for a rockets stability is that the center of gravity should be 1-2 calibers above the center of pressure. With this rule...
