Why simulate
Reduce guesswork
A simulation helps the user see whether the rocket is likely to remain stable and whether the recovery system is sized appropriately.

Yes, You Need to Simulate
Simulation is the most important step, and its used before and after building and launching. It helps users estimate stability, altitude, and whether a design fits the motor and recovery choice.

What to check
Keep the inputs simple
Check rocket length, weight, fin shape, motor class, and the expected launch conditions before moving ahead.
Simulation topics
Good for users who want to plan first.
Stability
See if the center of gravity and fin layout are likely to behave well in flight.
Altitude
Estimate how high the rocket may go so the launch field and recovery system make sense.
Motor fit
Compare motor choices before buying hardware or committing to a launch.
Recovery
Check whether the recovery system is appropriate for the estimated flight profile.
