Symmetry in Floworks
Symmetry in Floworks
(OP)
In Floworks, you can save computation time by marking the domain as symmetric about a plane. Ok, fine.
How do you display the results to recreate both sides of the plane? It seems like there is no setting to mirror the results for pretty charts.

Moreover, if you plot something inside a closed volume, you will see NOTHING, so you'd have to section it anyway.

If you do a flow trajectory inside a tube, you can hide the tube and may want to see the trajectory in the entire region.
Also, you may predict flow around a cone using just 1/4 of the area for symmetry, and then want to see the flow on 1/2 or the entire cone.
I am not sure first one to feel it is important, since Fluent does it. Also it is trivial to implement.
So it looks like I will need to double CPU cycles and compute it for both sides if I ever want to show a chart to a non-engineer.
