      It is a good practice to mesh only half of a symmetrical geometry in order to reduce the model size and get faster time to solution. When the boundary conditions are not symmetrical anymore (like side wind for external aero calculation) the user needs to run on the full geometry. You will find below is a solution to get the complete model from a symmetrical model in Fluent Meshing. Please refer to the attachments to access the solution.
