The Design Space Tool is responsible for defining the Design Space as well as considering the Symmetry Constraint. The symmetry constraint is included directly at the beginning of the model setup to save time defining the boundary conditions.
...
By selecting a Design Space, a new Design Part including one Solid and one Object will always be created. The Solid can be used to change the geometry and to apply all Boundary Conditions. For symmetrical models the Object mirrors the complete geometry with all Boundary Conditions.
...
Select all the solids that should be enclosed by the Design Space. A preview of the created bounding box is displayed. With the Advanced Properties an Offset can also be entered either by distance or percentage to the solids either aligned to the minimum or global reference. By confirming the selection, a new Design Part with the Design Space as a solid is created.
