Hi everyone, <\/p>\n

I’m having some problems and doubts with the aplication of symmetry in my model. The model consist of a sandwich of plates (made of different materials and different thickness) connected by beam connectors, between each plate friction contact is defined. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Can I apply 2 symmetry regions in order to have 1\/4 of the whole model? I’m not getting the same stress results. I don’t know if friction contact is supported. <\/li>\n
  2. Symmetry should be apply to the model in DesignModuler or I can define the symmetry region directly in Mechanical workbench?<\/li>\n
  3. I define a initial adjustment in each beam connector, but some beam connectors are situated on the plane of symmetry: should I reduce its area by half?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I look forward to any help,<\/p>\n

    thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-368703","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-bolted-connectios-1","topic-tag-frictional-contact","topic-tag-symmetry-region-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
