The following procedure describes the steps use to working with Symmetry in DesignModeler.
While in DesignModeler, from the menu, apply the feature to the model or define an .
Enter the Mechanical application by double-clicking on the Model cell in the Project Schematic. The Mechanical application screen appears and includes the following objects in the tree:
Symmetry Region objects displayed under the Symmetry folder. The number of Symmetry Region objects corresponds to the number of symmetry planes you defined in DesignModeler.
A Named Selections folder object. Each child object displayed under this folder replicates the enclosure named selections that were automatically created when you started the Mechanical application.
In the Details view of each Symmetry Region object, under Definition, specify the type of symmetry by first clicking on the Type field, then choosing the type from the drop-down list. Boundary conditions will be applied to the symmetry planes based on both the simulation type and what you specify in the symmetry Type field. The Scope Mode read-only indication is Automatic when you follow this procedure of defining symmetry in DesignModeler. The Coordinate System and Symmetry Normal fields include data that was "inherited" from DesignModeler. You can change this data if you wish. The Symmetry Normal entry must correspond to the Coordinate System entry.
