I am designing a rocket for an apogee of around 30,000 feet. I have primarily used OpenRocket and RasAeroII for design and simulation. Adding rail buttons didn't cause a significant change in the apogee on OpenRocket but when I added them on RasAeroII, the apogee dropped down by a couple of thousand feet. I am not aware of how significant the changes are due to the addition of the rail buttons.
I have used 1515 Rail Buttons which protrude 0.43 inches (1.1 cm) out of the body tube and I have used two of them. Can someone please share their insights on whether this kind of dip in apogee is normal or is there something wrong with my simulation?
