This project aims to analyze the structural strength and aerodynamic performance of a rocket fin using Finite Element Method (FEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations in SimScale. The structural analysis evaluates Von Mises stress, deformation, and factor of safety under aerodynamic loading, while the CFD analysis investigates airflow, pressure distribution, velocity contours, and wake formation around the fin. The project also includes a mesh independence study and engineering interpretation of the simulation results.
