Has anyone tried checking their OpenRocket files into git? The main problem I see is that they are actually zip files containing a single file called rocket.ork that is XML. I recently uncompressed two OpenRocket files and diffed their XML and found the results meaningful (able to tell what...

Hello everyone. I'm a member on a university team in Texas currently working through full scale model simulations. We have created an openrocket that shows an apogee with an altitude of around 5,000 ft. The issue is, when converting to Rocksim (within 1 pound), there is a drastic difference in...

Hello all, Sorry if i'm being a bit stupid, but I'm designing a two-stage rocket in OpenRocket and am encountering a problem: whenever I try to run a simulation, the software thinks my first stage is open-ended and thus doesn't give me any useful values concerning its flight. I haven't...

Hello everyone, we are preparing for a competition. I am aiming for an altitude of 3000 meters. The engine is m1850. But open rocket shows the altitude very low and gives the warning "recovery device deployment at high speed". How can I fix this? I leave the ork file below.

I am flying with the L1256 at an altitude of 11500ft. I have seen some posts on the forum where you enter the surface roughness polished via Openrocket to make the flight data closer to reality. I am building this rocket for a competition and the scoring depends on reaching the target altitude...

I am working on a high altitude rocket powered by Aerotech L1256WS-PS and targeting above 10000ft. I first designed this rocket on Openrocket, where I saw a peak altitude of 11453ft and a maximum speed of 315m/s. Then I did the same design on RASAero II, where I saw a peak altitude of 9224ft and...

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...

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { System.out.println("Ho"); } System.out.println("Merry Christmas!"); Hi everyone, the OpenRocket team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May 2024 be filled with joy and... rocketry! 🚀 (Yes, the tree was modeled in OpenRocket)

Hey everyone, I'm trying to simulate the stability of my team's rocket for the spaceport America cup on RASAero and OpenRocket. However, the stability graphs from RASAero and OpenRocket differ significantly, and we can't figure out why. I've attached the stability and Center of Pressure plots...

Hi Everyone, I am currently working toward an L1 certification using the Zephyr kit from Apogee. I am basically done with construction, but when I started looking at the OpenRocket model to determine my delay for motor ejection I noticed a really disconcerting discrepancy between the...

In OpenRocket, I added several custom materials. Is there a database (such as a JSON file) that I can edit? If not, how do I delete the extra materials I added? I highlighted the material I want to delete below:

Hi! Does anyone have a Composite Warehouse Concept 125 OpenRocket file? Thanks!

I am new to rocket software, and mid power rockets I want to try OpenRocket and was thinking that some must have made a lot of designs. Is there a place (Website) where there is designs to download ? And then adapt it to my rocket :) I have build a Aerotech Initiator (not mega) and I know that...

Hello everyone, I'm a complete beginner, I never launch a rocket before, i never had the opportunity to do it, but since i'm a software engineer now this is really something i want to learn, So in order to start somewhere and since i have a 3d printer, and i want to do everything, i created a...

Recently I updated to Windows 11 and I am mostly sure that once I did, I can't edit anything in OpenRocket. OpenRocket Launches fine and I am able to open all of my rocket files but whenever I double click a part or click the "edit" button, there is no popup. Due to this, I can't edit my...

This is my first post on this forum so I apologize if this post isn't in the right place, but I made my best guess as to where it might fit. I've been reading through the OpenRocket technical documentation, and after only just getting into it, I'm already a bit confused. It states that the...

I set the average windspeed to 0 mph. The simulation has the apogee at 4531 ft where the ejection charge fires. The ascent is near vertical. I delay chute decent deployment until 500 ft (Jolly Logic). The simulation has the rocket landing 6265 ft away from the launch site in 97 seconds after...

Is this possible in any way? Export a 3d model from OpenRocket - in any format or a conversion ... This isn't for real modeling or 3D printing, this is for visualization, 3dmax there and the like;

It's been 6 years since V15.0.3 was released. I see lots of emails on the lists about issues and I have a copy of a beta version 17.11-rc2.1 from 2018. At the minimum there are lots of AeroTech motors that have been approved that aren't in the database. It would be great to have an updated...

Hello, I am new at the Forum. Because of that ı don't any idea for Forum rules. Anyway. I am designing High Powered Rocket at Openrocket. Rocket flights 3.000 Meter (10.000 feet). But i have a problem with Static Margin at Apogee, when i simulated.As you can see below Graphic, my Rocket's...
