An LV-Haack cone aeroshell C=1/3 step by step
Generating the LV-Haack curve C=1/3 step-by-step with equations in SolidWORKS.
-
Step 1: Create a sketch with basic parameters
-
Step 2: Recognize the equations of LV-Haack curves
-
Step 3: Draw a curve driven by parametric equations.
-
Step 4: Generate a profile and surface for the rounded-tip projectile.
-
Step 5: Verify by superimposing the profile on the model provided by NASA.
-
Step 6: Practice typical Haack curves
It is very simple to replicate the original sketch and rename the constant C to C2 or C3 to observe the different typical curves.
