specifies the elements to be mirrored.

If enabled, the original mesh will be kept intact, and an exact copy of the mesh with duplicated nodes and elements will be generated at the selected location. This will activate the option to Merge nodes.

To add the newly created copies of mesh to an existing part, click the Select Parts icon. Select the part name from the window that opens up. If no part is selected, then the copies will be added to a new part.

automatically merges duplicated nodes when the mesh copies are adjacent to or overlapping one another. This uses a merge nodes tolerance setting to control the merge. Selecting merge nodes activates the options for the Tolerance Method and Delete duplicate elements.

allows you to determine how the merge tolerance should be specified. The Automatic option is recommended and will automatically calculate the tolerance as one tenth of the minimum edge length of all selected elements. If the User defined option is chosen, then an absolute tolerance can be set in the Tolerance field. The projection of the nodes are ignored during merging. There is also some internal code to prevent collapsing edges between nodes within the tolerance.

deletes duplicated elements if after merging nodes the copies overlap or are adjacent.

specifies the axis or vector that defines the normal to the mirror plane. The vector may pass through the plane.

Select the point about which the selected mesh elements are to be reflected.
