The symmetry function is newly a newly supported feature of the User Interface and helps set up symmetrical optimisation model very fast and easy. For more information regarding the setup of an symmetric optimisation model have a look here.
Symmetric Optimisation Conditions
With the Symmetry function a symmetrical result can be realized. Therefore, the geometry and the boundary conditions have to satisfy some conditions:
...
The symmetry constraint might not show exactly symmetrical designs while choosing the calculation type “Preview”. This is because of the low resolution level but will not occur once the calculation type is set to “Balanced” or “Fine Tune” and the optimisation runs through.
Local Coordinate System lieber bei Command Line???
If the symmetry is to refer to a local coordinate system, the following command must also be entered in the Advanced User Settings
symmetry.coordinateSystemBase = CoordSystem_Coordinate_System_1
(Coordinate_system_1 is the name of the local coordinate system and can vary)
