Is it possible to Mirror MPC's in Patran 1

[jean15paul]

Hi all,

I'm trying to mirror RBE2's in Patran 2011, and I can't find a way to do it. Finite Elements > Transform > Element > Mirror won't let me select MPC's. Neither will Utilities > FEM Transform...

I just spent a lot of time modeling half of a symmetric structure with the assumption that I could mirror it when I was done. If the RBE2's won't mirror I'm going to have to redo a lot of work. I hope someone knows of a way to avoid recreating them manually.

BTW, This is my first post in this forum. I'm a new Patran user. I started a new job where we use Patran. I have ~5 years of experience with Femap at my last job. The programs are pretty different, so I may be on here asking lots of questions.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You shall put all mpc you want to mirror in a group and then
just go to group>transform>mirror.

Thank you SO much Onda! I haven't tried this yet, but I definitely will. This will save me SO much time.
