hi,
I'm trying to set up a cyclic symmetry model of a bar with a changing radius.
The bar has moments applied at both of its ends in opposite directions (through reference points which are constrained to the bar's end surfaces). thus, the model isn't symmetric but cyclic symmetric.
I've created a part that is an 8th of the bar.
Though I've set up the cyclic symmetry interaction, the results seem to show that the analysis is only done on an 8th of the model and isn't simulating the whole bar.
I would appreciate any advice on this manner.
I've attached the cae model.
thank you,
Noe
