Polar symmetry does not work

      Hello everyone. I am making polar symmetry of 1/4 cylinder, but when calculating the model diverges at the place where the segments are glued:

      The model is not “glued”.  Ansys is solving 1/4 of the model.  The Symmetry item in the tree provides boundary conditions on the cut faces of the quarter model and creates a visual reconstruction of the full model, but it is just for display purposes.  The small gap you show in the last image is not real, it's not a problem. In past versions, you could fix the appearance by entering a very small offset in the reconstruction parameters.
