These symmetry-based objects enable you to analyze a portion of a symmetric model in order to save time and resources.
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| General Axisymmetric | Creates a three-dimensional mesh, in the circumferential direction, on a surface body model that is based on specified nodal planes and an axis. |
| Periodic/Cyclic Region/Pre-Meshed Cyclic Region | Define individual planes for periodic conditions, anti-periodic conditions, cyclic conditions, or pre-meshed cyclic conditions. |
| Symmetry | Represents all definitions of symmetry or periodic/cyclic planes within a model. |
| Symmetry Region | Defines individual planes for symmetry or anti-symmetry conditions (including linear periodic symmetry). |
