Defining a Quarter Symmetry Control

You add a quarter symmetry control that guides the optimization algorithm to find symmetric solutions for the optimized geometry.

A quarter symmetry control enforces that the optimized geometry is symmetric with respect to two orthogonal planes.
  1. In the Optimization study tree, right-click Manufacturing Controls , and select Specify Symmetry Plane(s) .
  2. In the PropertyManager:
    1. For Type, select Quarter Symmetry.
    2. Click in Select First Symmetry Plane , and from the brake rotor flyout FeatureManager design tree, select First Symmetry.
    3. Click in Select Second Symmetry Plane , and select Second Symmetry.
      The part is shown in Isometric view orientation.
