15.1.3.5.2. Analysis Settings for Cyclic Symmetry in a Modal Analysis

A Modal analysis involving cyclic symmetry includes a Cyclic Controls category that enables you to solve the harmonic index for all values, or for a range of values. This category is available if you have defined a Cyclic Region in the analysis.


Note:  Currently for Modal Analysis with Cyclic Symmetry:

  • The Unsymmetric Solver Type (UNSYM) is not supported.

  • Damping is not supported (Fully Damped, DAMPED, or Reduced Damped, QRDAMP).

  • Expansion is only available for harmonic indices > 0 with the Samcef or ABAQUS solver.
