Chapter 4: Cyclic Symmetry Analyses

This chapter provides specific information for obtaining the solution to various types of cyclic symmetry analyses and covers the following topics:

Note the following limitations:

  • Transient analyses are not supported, with the exception noted in Static Cyclic Symmetry Analysis.

  • Only modal restarts (ANTYPE,MODAL,RESTART) and linear perturbation restarts (ANTYPE,,RESTART,,,PERTURB) are supported. Other multiframe restarts are not supported.
