Hello,
Rececntly we have launched our first J class rocket. Now we are working on analyzing the telemetry of the flight but we are having trouble understanding the rocksim simulation. I have plotted the "Y-acceleration" as function of time and the graph I got is confusing to me. Somehow post deploying the parachute the simulation shows the acceleration jumping to 1 gee and staying there. This is confusing because at 1 gee I expect the rocket to be free falling (aka, the rocket didn't deploy the parachute), but upon checking the graph for velocity I do see the parachute deployment and the landing velocity does make sense. How does the velocity graph derived out of the acceleration one? Because I can't see a way that an integral does that.
