I would like to apply periodic bounary condition in Abaqus CAE to a square/rectangular RVE. I know many have used the *EQUATION in the input file, but I need to keep this in CAE and avoid directly altering .inp files. I know others have suggested Interaction >> Cyclic Symmetry. Which seems great but I don't know how to apply that to this case instead of to axis symmetric cases.

Thanks,

Brady
