Not sure what is going on with this one. Can someone check out the parts file and let me know if you get same results or can spot problem in file?

I really like Rocksim, but the more I work under the hood with the parts files and parts management aspects of the software, it is the one area that really needs improvement! Improving parts management and correcting known issues should be development priorities.

I'm also seeing some inconsistencies with how Rocksim calculates CG for a transitions. It does not appear to be taking the inserts into account for calculation. Anyone else witness this problem.

It is a bug. The core diameter is clearly inserted into the database (CSV file), but the program is not picking the data up correctly. Apogee needs to hear from us on this one. Have you sent in a bug report yet?
