Ian is currently working on creating a workflow for the Rockets team to get a better qualitative aerodynamic understanding of interesting geometries on rocket bodies.

SSI's computer aided design program of choice since it is used in industry and is fairly easy to learn (and free for students). SSCP uses a lot of surfacing in order to get the complex geometries that they require. Most of our rockets will not require incredibly organic shapes (aside from a nose cone) so no need to get fancy. Any design (part, assembly, assembly of assemblies, etc) can be meshed with Pointwise. [Lhttp://www.solidworks.com/ ink to site].

Open source visualizer which is optimized for very large datasets. A complex but also well-documented tool which will be SSI's visualizer of choice.
