27.3.7. Symmetry Condition

The symmetry condition is equivalent to imposing zero values for the normal displacement and tangential force components, respectively. For axisymmetric models, Ansys Polydata identifies the axis of symmetry (r=0) automatically and imposes the symmetry condition on that section.

To define symmetry condition, you will need to select Plane of symmetry (fs=0, dn=0) from the list of boundary conditions.
