Ansys solid modelling, symmetry
Ansys solid modelling, symmetry
(OP)
I have only just begun teaching myself Ansys, and am somewhat stuck on my first solid/3D model:
How would I go about creating a model of a cube containing a spherical cavity on the inside? Is there a way of subtracting one volume from another? Also, if I want to take advantage of symmetry and only analyze a part of the model, do I have to create the whole model first and then somehow eliminate what I don't need or is there a simpler way?
I realize the question is elementary but would very much appreciate your help! Thanks.

If you have access to the Ansys customer portal, you should be able to download their training on designmodeler; which may be helpful.
Also, the tutorials in the Ansys help file for Classic/APDL are worth going through. Good luck.
