Hi,

 

I am designing a bicycle hub which has obvious cyclical symmetry, I have divided my part into a slice, but I can't find any guides or example about how to process this in Optistruct.

 

Does anybody know of an example for a similar part or anything with cyclical symmetry?

 

Regards,

 

Anthony

    Hi,

    See attached screenshot for full model.

    But if you want to consider only one quarter portion for analysis then it may not possible now.Such feature will be available in future version.
