Cyclic Symmetry

Altair Forum User

I am using hyperworks student version for my senior project. I am making topology optimization of a rotating disk,  How can I specify the cyclic symmetry for this disk.

Hi Harun,

Please go through this document http://www.altairuniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tutorial_topology-optimization-with-pattern-grouping.pdf which explains about obtaining symmetric concepts with topology optimization.Also, please refer http://blog.altair.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/optistruct_optimization_10-0.pdf which is also a document on optimization.
