  • Parts database updates
  • Translation updates

Fin Flutter Analysis

This release allows the user to analyze a fin for fin flutter effects. The current implementation has some limitations but is useful enough that it is worth releasing as is.

Features:

  • Fin flutter is calculated using the method outlined in NACA Technical Note 4197
  • Atmospheric model is coesa76, an extension of the US Standard Atmospheric model that works above 84 km altitude
  • Material editor allowing you to create your own material presets

Current limitations:

  • Trapezoidal fins only supported at this time. Elliptical and custom fin shapes are not
  • The software assumes uniform thickness. Tapers, airfoils, etc are ignored.
  • Material information is not saved with the fin. It will need to be reloaded each time

Replaced the stale Open Rocket parts database with the curated database from Dave Cook (https://github.com/dbcook/openrocket-database). This is the database Open Rocket will be using for all releases going forward.

Reverted issue #21 due to unacceptable performance issues.

This release addresses the following issues:

  • For secant ogive nose cones, the Ogive Radius parameter is changed to Ogive Diameter for consistency with other parameters
  • Improve consistency checks for blunted cones and secant ogives to ensure parameters are in range
  • Fix Issue #27 where selecting "Transform" for an object from its right click menu launched the part editor instead of activating the Transform functionality
