symmetric model generation
symmetric model generation
(OP)
My problem is about the modeling in 3-D when I revolve my 2-D plane about the symmetry axis. I use the *symmetric model generation command. The program create duplicate node and element by offset the numbering. The problem is along the symmetry axis. Program recognize nodes at the axis to be the same and doesn't offset the node in the node information, however it does offset the node number in the element connectivity data. Therefore node number using in the element connectivity data doesn't exist in node definition and I would like to ask you for any algolithm to change this number to the node number along the symmetry axis.

This may be a bug, if so, I am sure your local support office would like to get a hold of your input deck so that it could be tested and passed to the developers for correction. In general, anything that worked in 6.2 had better work in 6.3, or it needs to be corrected. You'll find ABAQUS very serious about getting these type of bugs corrected.
Best regards and good luck!
