Symmetry Boundary condition
Symmetry Boundary condition
(OP)
Hi guys
I'm a beginner student in Abaqus. I am modelling a quarter of a plate with a circular hole. I have to apply a load on the quarter of the plate, then study the stress and the mesh convergence. My supervisor asked me to apply a symmetry boundary conditions on this model (i.e. fix everything apart from displacement about plane of symmetry). What does this mean, and how can apply these boundary conditions on the quarter of the plate. Please see the attachement.
Thank you
