Creation of Symmetry B.C in ICEM

      Hi 3D Design community,

      I am going to create symmetry boundary condition for the front and back plane of the domain in the figure below. That is, the front surface of  Symmetry1  and the back surface of Domain  Symmetry2.

       

       

      Do I need to set Global Mesh Setup? Or should I define two surfaces symmetrically only in the  "Part Boundary Conditions section" ?

      Tell me what I need to do to create a symmetry boundary condition on the front and back faces of the domain.

      Thankyou

      Regards

      Also, you should consider making a 2D planar model instead of the thin 3D model. It depends on the CFD solver you want to use. In Fluent you can use a 2D planar model. I think CFX requires a one-element extrusion in the plane normal direction.
