Hi, i have results from ansys (MCS - modal symmetry cyclic). Can i see whole part around modal shapes like in reality? In MCS i take only symmetry part and define all other things, but I know ansys calculate it like it is whole part around.

    Symmetry visualization allows partially modeled geometry to be shown in full extent by reflection and or duplication.  The Symmetry dialog allows you to define options which can be used to visualize what a whole model would look like when you are only using a half, quarter, or a partial segment of the model.

    See 

    HyperWorks Desktop Applications > HyperView > Display and Visualization Options:

    Symmetry Dialog

     for additional information regarding using this dialog.
