Symmetry on Spur gears ANSYS WB?

Symmetry on Spur gears ANSYS WB?

(OP)
Hi everyone, I'm making a research related to spur gears on ANSYS. Basically my model is based on two gears that rotates 360 and I apply some amount of torque. I want to make some symmetry in order to reduce the amount of nodes. I'm slicing both gears on the half and that gives me two thinner gears, then applying symmetry Region on one the faces, but it is not working. Cyclic symmetry won't be helpful as far as I understand how it works.

If you have any ideas, I will appreciate.
