Cylindrical simmetry

Hi, 

I have a disk of a turbine which I trimmed in CAD software to create a circular sector to import in Hypermesh.

I would like to impose a cylindrical simmetry constrain, i.e. I would like to make understand the software that the component I have is a part of a component which has a cylindrical development.

Is there a tool to do it? If yes in which panel can I find it?

    Hi mabefa,

     

    Are the loads acting on the part are symmetric? If it is so, you can create a separate cylindrical system for the part and impose cylindrical constraints.

     

    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer.

    Unfortunatelly the loads acting on the surface of the blade are not symmetric.

    However what is the procedure to create a cylindrical system and impose the cylindrical constraints in Hypermesh.

    Hi mabefa,

     

    Please watch this video. I have shown how to create a system.
