Sim software

[rockhead]

Are there any shareware/freeware sim programs around that are good for basic rockets? TIA

Visual Center of Pressure (VCP) computes CP and graphically displays the rocket. It also has tools like a shroud calculator. WRASP lets you simulate a rocket but IIRC you don't really enter the design. I'm sure others will chime in, but for now you can search for these online. Sorry I don't have the links.
