    Hi,

     

    a set isn't a entity. It is only a container for some types of entities (e.g. nodes, elements, components, etc.).

     

    If you want to reflect e.g all elements in a set, then use instead 'Reflect->Elements->by sets'

     

    Best Regards,

    Mario

    Hi,

     

    i don't know a direct way to do this.

     

    A suggestion is to make a copy of the half model, reflect the elements and reimport this model into your original hypermesh model. (as .hm)

    Then normaly you have the original and the second set of sets.

     

    Try it.

     

    Best regards,

    Mario

    IMHO, no direct way to do that with current release of Hypermesh, maybe in the future ?

    Try Mario's suggestion.

    Or copy the mesh (maybe surface mesh) which contains your set, reflect it and use 'tool ->edge' to found coincident nodes for your new set.

    I'll try a TCL script when I have some free time.
