To improve the efficiency of rocket design and prototyping, I decided to develop a MATLAB based parametric script to generate rocket nose cone geometries.
The code allows the creation of ogive, von Karman, and conical nose cone profiles, enabling rapid modification of geometric parameters such as length, diameter, and shape. The program automatically generates DXF files that can be imported directly into Autodesk Fusion and SolidWorks for CAD modeling and then be 3D printed. This tool simplifies the transition from analytical design and simulation, such as OpenRocket, to mechanical modeling, improving efficiency and fidelity in the rocket aerodynamic design process.
