Ansys symmetry one of the most powerful means of reducing the size of a fea problem is the exploitation of symmetry symmetry is said to exist if there is a complete symmetry of geometry, loads and constraints about a line or plane of symmetry when exploiting symmetry model needs to be modified to replace the line or plane of symmetry. I am doing a 2d ansys workbench simulation,it is nonlinear simulation due to frictionless contact, there is symmetry in the shape so i used the symmetry option to reduce the computation time and it succeeded to converge after that i tried the simulation of the whole body but it always fails. Inthissketch,drawacirclecentredattheoriginbyusingthe. A user indicates the low boundary and the high boundary for the cyclic region of interest.
Symmetry boundary conditions are used when the physical geometry of interest, and the expected pattern of the flowthermal solution, have mirror symmetry. Recall that in ansys terminology, the displacement constraints are also loads. Cyclic symmetry considerations in ansys workbench mechanical. Defining boundary conditions to define a problem that results in a unique solution, you must specify information on the dependent flow variables at the domain boundaries zspecify fluxes of mass, momentum, energy, etc. Manual removing of the details can take a long time, therefore it is convenient to.
