Comments Model is not ready for analysis. First connections, or structure, have to be defined for the spherical tanks. The global buckling code was updated for a 2 stage rocket and also outputs a max g loading the rocket can withstand. Future Work • Define connections of spherical tanks • Run a normal modes analysis • Run static stress cases Structures Group
