Reply To: Transient analysis is not currently supported for cyclic symmetry models.

Hi Ashish,

As it is stated in the documentation Chapter 4: Cyclic Symmetry Analyses (ansys.com)

"Transient analyses are not supported, with the exception noted in Static Cyclic Symmetry Analysis. "

As a workaround Cyclic symmetry for transient structural analysis can be inserted in the model by usining a Command Snippet with command CPCYC under “Transient” of “Tree Outline” of the model.

Example:

/prep7 

cpcyc,all,,1,,90 !!! cylindrical coordinate system 1, location increments 90 degree

allsel,all /solu

CPCYC (ansys.com)
