Generates the constraint equations for a cyclic symmetry
analysis
LownameName of a component for the nodes on the low angle edge of the sector. Enclosed in single quotes.
HighnameName of a component for the nodes on the high angle edge of the sector. Enclosed in single quotes.
NsectorNumber of sectors in the complete 360 degrees.
HIndexHarmonic index to be represented by this set of constraint
equations. If Hindex is -1, generate constraint
equations for static cyclic symmetry. If HIndex is -2, generate constraint equations for static cyclic asymmetry.
ToleranceA positive tolerance is an absolute tolerance (length units), and a negative tolerance is a tolerance relative to the local element size.
Kmove0 | — | Nodes are not moved. |
1 | — | HIGHNAME component nodes are moved to match LOWNAME component nodes exactly. |
Kpairs0 | — | Do not print paired nodes |
1 | — | Print table of paired nodes |
The analysis can be either modal cyclic symmetry or static cyclic symmetry.
The pair of nodes for which constraint equations are written are rotated into CSYS,1.
