I'm trying to calculate the Re at the point of the greatest deformation in the center. From what I have found Re for this case could be calculated...

    Hello Eng Tips, I am using ANSYS 12.1 to obtain the mode shapes of a thin 2mx2m plate. This worked perfectly when using no symmetry BCs. Now I am trying to obtain all these mode shapes/frequencies using quarter symmetry of the plate but when I setup the symmetry BC it seems to only have a few...
