Full component symmetry

Altair Forum User

Hi all,

 

I´m trying to define symmetry on both bcs and mesh to reduce computational costs in future simulations and the question is if there isn´t semiautomatic options to do that.

 

Model is very simple, is a shell with a force (inside boundaries) and one side all constrained.  To validate i have the complete model but i don´t know how to define boundary nodes to simulate that. I had readed many post about that but is not clear if this capabilities (both constraints and forces) be able to define together.

 

Thanks in advance

All nodes on symmetry plan, you should apply BC like:
