Symmetry

Restrains the selected edge from moving along the in-plane normal direction to the edge. This option is similar to the Roller/Slider options.

Use Reference Geometry

Use a reference geometry to apply restraints. The reference can be a face or plane parallel to the section plane, or axis, or to an edge. The table shows the translations and rotations not applicable along certain directions.

Reference geometry Translations Rotations
Face or plane parallel to section plane

- Normal to plane

- Along Plane Dir 1

- Along Plane Dir 2

Edge   You cannot apply rotations
Axis on the section plane

- Circumferential

You cannot apply rotations
Axis normal to the section plane (not allowed for the axisymmetric type) - Axial

- Radial

- Circumferential
