Open rocket bug error - help

[AcadiaRockets]

I didn't see anything about this error in the forums.
I am trying to run simulations on my SBR Bullet.
the report was sent to the email per the instructions but I have not heard back.
Hoping to get resolution and do some sims before the launch next weekend.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The issue is something to do with the phantom body tube for the vents and plastic rivets. Delete that and the simulation runs.

And that is one beautiful rocket. Well done.

Thanks for the help! My Open Rocket kung fu is not as good as I would like.

The issue has been fixed in the current OpenRocket unstable and, for everyone else, the fix will be in Beta 5 which should release soon.

On the other hand, hoping to be helpful, there are misuses of the components in this design that make it doubtful whether its simulation would be accurate. You cannot use inner tubes as part of the outer airframe and expect the simulation to be accurate; inner components are aerodynamically ignored.

As a basic example, do something like this instead:



This approach will simulate correctly. I apologize in advance if this was too blunt.

Nice job on the fins, by the way.
