Symmetry Boundary condition

Hi guys

I'm a beginner student in Abaqus. I am modelling a quarter of a plate with a circular hole. I have to apply a load on the quarter of the plate, then study the stress and the mesh convergence. My supervisor asked me to apply a symmetry boundary conditions on this model (i.e. fix everything apart from displacement about plane of symmetry). What does this mean, and how can apply these boundary conditions on the quarter of the plate. Please see the attachement.

Thank you

Frd

You should figure this out on your own. Read the documentation regarding boundary conditions. Try out a few simple tutorials/examples etc. if you have to. There are *many* tutorials available online as well.
