Return Value

The cyclic symmetry fixture is appropriate for turbines, fans, flywheels, and motor rotors. FirstFace and SecondFace are the faces of a cut section of a model that can be repeated in a cyclical pattern about Axis. The angle between FirstFace and SecondFace should be evenly divisible by 360. You cannot apply a cyclic symmetry restraint to an invalid section. See the Creating Valid Sections for Cyclic Symmetry topic in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Helps for more information.

This method is valid only for static and nonlinear studies.
