The Reflection method is used to mirror a mesh in a specified plane. Apart from using the principal planes (for example, the XY plane), arbitrary planes can be created with the Three Points and the Point and Normal methods. These are the same plane definition methods that are available in CFD-Post.
The options available are YZ Plane, XZ Plane, XY Plane, Three
Points and Point and Normal.
When using the YZ Plane, XZ Plane, or XY Plane method, an offset can be applied
by entering values in the X, Y, Z offset box.
If you use the Three Points or Point and Normal method, the points can be manually entered
or selected in the viewer after you click in any coordinate field.
This setting controls whether the transformation is applied to the original mesh or to a copy of the mesh. If you have set up physics locations on the original mesh, such locations are retained after the transformation.
The following options are available:
-
Original (No Copy) Transforms the original mesh without making a copy.
-
Copy (Keep Original) Copies the original mesh before applying the transformation. In this case, the original mesh remains in its current location.
