Figure 1. A full model with unsymmetric loading To perform such an analysis, first of all we have to cut a cyclic sectorwith its share of loading and boundary condition. In this example, a 1/6th sector is created. The Pressure is the same while The Moment is 1/6th of the full model.
Figure 2. a 1/6th sector of the full model The second step is to insert a command objects by right-clicking Static Structural:
Figure 3. inserting a commands object Now we can type 3 commands as shown in Figure 4. The CYCLIC command activates the symmetry solution technique and the parameter 6 means there is 6 sectors in the full model.
Figure 4. Commands snippet for activating cyclic solution. We can also insert some commands under Solution for postprocessing, see Figure 5. The reason to do so is that in nowadays Workbench we cannot expand structure symmetrically in postprocessing. The commands object will create a expanded stress plot after solving the model. However the plot is static so it is important to define view point and view angle previously.
Figure 5. Commands for generating stress plot for a expanded full model. When solving process begins, we can open Solution Information and check the CYCLIC command output.
Figure 6. The CYCLIC command output. Now solution is completed and we can continue with postprocessing.
