After browsing and searching the RTF threads, I've come to ask this question. I'll apologize before and after if there's a rich trove of rocksim user Q&A out there somewhere. Please point me to it.
I am rocksim modeling a 2 x 18 mm cluster modification to an Estes Curvilinear kit. Everything seems to be progressing ok, then I notice that creating a mass object in the nosecone is not being recognized for the purpose of calculated CG, stability margin, or total weight. The M symbol shows up on the diagram and the object is in the rocket component tree. However, the weight, CG, etc. remains unchanged.
I'm trying to use the Rocksim 9 trial version.
Any advice or tips would be appreciated. The rocket, when two 18mm motors are installed, is clearly marginally stable - at best - without adding nose weight. Thanks for your help.
