Thank you, this is enough information. I had found an old model on the web from v19.2 when it was a beta feature. In that scenario, "general axisymmetric" was unneeded; i.e., "pure axisymmetric" worked fine in the beta condition. However, I now realize that the fully released feature operates with "general axisymmetric." I definitely have hesitations about it though since the max number of nodal planes in general axisymmetric is 12. And in that case, the interaction with neighboring 3D bodies is only at those 12 planes. Therefore, results can look like the following image, which are very questionable. I think I'm going to stay away from this technology since I don't think it is completely polished yet.
