This software allows you perform six degree of freedom simulations of High Power Rocket (HPR) and model rocket flights. Parachute descent is also simulated. 3D flight trajectories are produced as well as detailed tabular flight data. Running in Monte Carlo mode allows generates multiple possible flight paths and splash down plots, indicating the probability of landing in an area.

...The claim of these tools is to facilitate the programming of simulations by providing routines to quickly generate: -display windows and input parameters -help to display the variation in the data as graphs -management of iterations Goal for the user: quickly programme his simulation. Requires knowledge of C language. Knowledge of gtk and cairo (for simple graphs) is not necessary. See examples. -sugar fermentation kinetics -parachute drop -cycle of a water tank heated by solar panels -curve of chase For your simulation, simply copy and adapt some lines corresponding explicit examples.

Software for simulating the flight path of high power rockets in six-degree-of-freedom. This software runs with Octave or Matlab and can simulate a wide range of scenarios including parachute recovery and multiple stage flights.
