Margin during flight (per Rocksim)?

[gary7]

Does Rocksim give a margin of stability throughout the flight? For instance, I know particularly on fast flights with quick burning motors the CG can move forward during flight quickly.

Not sure about rocksim, but open rocket will do this.

Yes, Rocksim can do this. It is an option under graphing if memory serves.

You are correct. I have never graphed it myself, but it shows as an option under the flight graph option.

I have done it for a couple skinny fast rockets. Get to transonic/Mach + and the Cp can change a fair amount.
