Cyclic symmetry

  Hey everyone, I am doing a model of a Wheel and, in order to decrease the number of elements, I have applied a cyclic symmetry, but It appears to modify the result. I lack to comprehend why the evolution of the stress differs from one to another, it looks like the simplified version’s rim is stiffer, and does not deform at all. Could somebody explain me why the result differs?

  What I mean is that, when applying the cyclic load, with the same BC, the only part that deform is the central disc while the barrel and spokes have 0 stressnn

  nnThe load (Remote force) does not look to be cyclic and symmetrical. You can use refer following link for applying a non-cyclic load:nnnRegards,nAshish Khemkan
