Check symmetry

Nancy Jewel Mcdonie

Hi all, 

I have a question: how to check symmetry for a 3D cad model in HyperMesh 2023?

Thanks.

Hi Nancy,

To check symmetry, you can use the tool "Find Symmetry", below are images showing the steps to guide you along. It will be easier if you start initially by creating a node in the center of your surface as shown below:

Then, create a vector for your plane normal as shown:

Now, you can use the search tool to find "Find Symmetry" tool and follow the steps below:

The link below also explains how the tool works:

Hope this helps! 

Thanks,
