Rocket motor software testing - Need test subjects (files)


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've been working on some software that records and analyzes the Total Impulse, Specific Impulse etc. of rocket motors. I have one other alpha tester, but it would be good to get some other data from the rocket enthusiasts on this forum who are into testing and evaluating motor performance.

 

What I want to do is to compare my performance results with "known test results" that other people have done and recorded.

 

At this point the software works in the metric system. So I'd prefer data in that way, although I could manually convert in excel if required.

 

So, all I need is a plain text file that shows the data like this:

0
8
20
59
112
315
701
1609
224
8
0 etc.....

It doesn't need to be whole numbers. The only other important thing I need to know is the sample rate it was recorded at.

 

I'll import the file to my software and post back the results and hopefully it should match your previously known and tested results (within a small tolerance).

 

To re-cap:

  • A Text File
  • Sample Rate it was recorded at

Don't tell me any other details as the software should work it out.

 

If a plain text file is not doable, as a last resort I guess I can convert from a csv and pounds to kilos then convert back again etc. etc...

 

Please ask if any questions.

Well thanks Red, much appreciated. That N4800 would perhaps explode my software into many many pieces!!! Good job though.

 

I was more after "measured" results than calculated via RockSim etc.

 

Does anyone have something like that?
