Testing and Modelling includes:
CAD Modelling
Modelling on CAD using the flow simulation was important to gain data and visualise the aerodynamics of our nosecone and rocket. From the flow simulator, we gained visuals of the vectors of velocity as well as a value for the drag force of what was being tested.
Prototype Testing
Testing of prototypes is very important to ensure everything is functional and adds the value it was made for (for example, to ensure the fins aid stability during flight). It is important to test so flaws can be found and fixed quickly and efficiently but also data can be gained and analysed.
