Mirror FE Mesh

---

​

About this Block

What it does: This block mirrors an existing FE Mesh to cut down processing time for symmetrical parts. Commons uses:

• Topology Optimization
• Analysis

Tips:

• Start with a part that is already halved or cut it in half using a Plane with Boolean Subtract.
• You can merge the meshes after mirroring or keep them separate. If you keep them separate, you will need to use a Connector in your FE Model.
