CYCLIC SYMMETRY IN HYPERWORKS

User: "Altair Forum User"

Hi, I am a new user of hyperworks and i am currently using the 2017 student edition. I am working on jet engine blades static structural analysis. Considering the cyclic symmetry involved in the problem statement i am trying to stimulate just one blade with the help of cyclic symmetry but i am having a problem setting this up since hyperworks doesn't have any direct GUI option for that. I have been searching for the last week on forum for axi symmetry and cyclic symmetry and all i was able to find was a tutorial of axi symmetry which says that tangential displacement needs to be restricted but according to me that is only possible for certain specific situations of cyclic symmetry problems. I am trying to use PERBC to make the opposite faces of geometry behave same to simulate cyclic symmetry but i am not able to figure out how to implement that. Can anyone help me with that?
