Do you need too simulate amateur rockets with advanced guidance and control systems. So do I! This is an overview of the three phases of Modeling and Simulation that I use for rocket design. These steps take us from the start of the design process all the way though to flight test.

NOTE: I do not release CAD, code, or simulation files for the projects on my channel.
