BYU Rocketry - OpenRocket Tutorial

Former president and founder, Ryan Garrison, provides a basic OpenRocket tutorial. This tutorial is not meant to be a complete guide to using OpenRocket, but a helpful resource to get started.

Thank you so much for making this video. I've learned a lot of stuff in one single video.

[@dangriffing]

Great tutorial; I followed while designing the same thing with slight differences. Great Simulation results on G & H motors.

[@recepmehmet5247]

Thank you for show all details.

Thanks for the tutorial! A massive help for an upcoming project 👍🏼 🚀

how to convert it in stl file for printing

[@sparxy1968]

Wise words indeed: "You really do not want to disassemble your rocket mid-flight at a couple hundred miles per hour...."

[@ewomack]

Nice tutorial! Great for those looking for a well-explained introduction! Thanks!!

[@fishingandfireworks7334]

Great video, at the end you say launching it after all the simulations is "probably" the best part, i agree good sir!!!

[@ItMoonWalker]

Hello, I would like to get closer to this world, I come from Italy and here it is a hobby that very few people do. I have been doing 3d printing for several years now, I would like to be able to make something to send up into the sky Thank you very much for the tutorials

[@erkanokg2330]

thank u very much that was very useful

[@OsirusIrdia]

Is BYU rocketry taking new students (only learned the basics of rocketry software like this) onto the team/ have a smaller apprentenship/introduction rocket team we may join to further explore rocketry?

[@richardpearson1724]

Very nice tutorial. QUESTION - I wondered how to add Aerotech RMS Motor Hardware (the Casing for the RMS Motors)? Is there a standard database of these casings, or do I need to start from scratch and add an inner tube?

[@farcasdotpng]

Nope. The RMS reloads luckily already have casings in the program.

[@aerospaceengineer8484]

When we have the airbrake system, how to simulate the rocket for reaching accurate apogee using this simulation software?

[@giovannigiorgio0]

Is there a book you can recommend to design a solid propellant rocket engine, along with formulas and explanations?

[@pjbj3370]

Awesome video, if I were to build a rocket large enough to make it to space, do I need faa approval prior to launch? Also same question in regards to FAA approval for a rocket flying higher than 400ft Agl?

[@schleimigerhelmling6763]

Hello. No Launch lug? Or doesn't matter? is it possible to add two launch lugs in a row? or better one at the lower end of the rocket? Grüße, Ben.

[@barakakatembo3131]

I'm happy to follow your video, but I have a question and I hope for the answer: how to define the center of thrust of the rocket, before it slips into the fuselage of the mini rocket ??? please answer

[@jackcaynon9746]

Question - have you ever inputted an aluminum fin can into Open Rocket? If so, how did you structure it?

[@byurocketry6869]

Jack Caynon Assuming the fin can slides over your body tube, you can create a new body tube of the correct internal diameter, external diameter, and length to represent the “can”. Then use the position offset function to position it over your actual body tube. Finally, add the fins to this new “can” tube instead of your body tube.

[@jackcaynon9746]

BYU Rocketry Great answer! Thanks!

Thank you very much sir Helpful

[@annavallejo1080]

Thanks a lot

[@chase5720]

for some reason everytime i run open rocket it opens fine but when i click on some parts for example the dropdown menu to select the views in the area where it desplays your rocket, it starts to start acting weird and it starts putting weird screens, kinda like of like the old windows XP error message dupicating thing, please help because this glitch wont stop and it messes me up when makeing a rocket

[@justthetwous314]

how many costed these meterials? PLEASE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME

[@amazingly1462]

it would be there at rocketry website

sir can i get cad file of rocket ? can you help

[@turkialzahrani8940]

very helpful thank you

[@tribikramaero10]

Hello Mr. Ryan Garrison, I would like to know if we can use Openrocket for high altitude rocket simulation like launch vehicle application? also while modeling the rocket can we add our own rocket configuration or rocket (where all rocket parameters can be changed like dimensions, thrust, burn time etc.) to model exactly orbital launch event with design stages? Would love to have your feedback. Thank you.

[@hobie1dog]

Thanks a bunch

[@JohnDoe-di5jq]

Can it be used for supersonic, Mach-2, Mach-3, aluminum?

[@mustafasemihcoban909]

No. This program is only for 0.8 mach and little velocities

Good tutorial, thx.

hi. I'm facing an execution issue regarding open rocket software. I have the latest java software. However whenever i download openrocket-15.03 from their website. It downloads the file in winrar format in my downloads section. To try fix this issue i tried using the notepad method but still no use. How can i solve this issue?

[@burakciftcioglu2616]

You can download it from here and install the app. That worked for me. Link: www.dropbox.com/s/dfpo0pzztgsscqf/OpenRocket-15.03-installer.exe?dl=0

[@lancelotnet]

Can I ask a question? Is there a rocket type that its top filled with black powder ? or u're planning to add black powder apart from the rocket motor

[@derrickwalker4423]

This rocket is designed to use the ejection charge in the motor like you described. It can be disabled, but he keeps it at 9 seconds after burn when he is talking about motors around 20:00.

[@charlesholliday1013]

Question for you. I'm using clear acrylic fins so they will be sort of invisible since the real rocket I’m modeling after doesn't have fins... Do you know how in the appearance tab of the fins to assign no color, so they show up as just a dotted line or something similar?

[@bennib3267]

@Charles Holliday At 8.15 min there is an option in the menu called component line style. Thats probably it

[@chase5720]

well if you add fins that arent visible in the simulation it will be more stable then the real life version if you dont add fins so just build how it is going to be in real life and simulate it

i think you have a company related to rocketry (BYU Rocketry). is it true ?

Can we use this file to create stl file for 3d printing
