FE Mesh, Planes, Bool, Scalar
FE Mesh, Planes, Bool, Scalar, 1.1.0
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
- 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.
