Plane182 has axial symmetry keyoption for example.
For me personally AXISYMMETRIC means something different than CYCLIC or ROTATIONAL-SYMMETRIC.
So how would you do it?
As per my understanding, you can able to solve a 2D axisymmetric problem that includes the prediction of the circumferential component of stresses / forces. The assumption of axisymmetry implies that, there may be non-zero circumferential gradients. In other words, the examples of axisymmetric flows involving swirl or rotation are depicted in figure as well as the region of modelling.
For axisymmetric model, your model needs to have an axi-symmetric geometry, homogeneous, isotropic or 'at least' axi-symmetric material property (where you might have a radial distribution of material property) and an axi-symmetric loading condition. If and only if all the above conditions are satisfied, then only one should proceed with an axi-symmetric model to represent a 3D model.
Thank you for your answers. The wording "axialsymmetric" was confusing, but then I realized that i draw a 2D Sketch in a 3D Environment.... It´s clear now to me, thx.
Sometimes it happens by the way pleased to see that, your confusion is now over .
Best of luck !

Hi,
I am trying to simulate the mass flow input for an axissymmetrical model in 2d. Should i define the mass flow rate equal to half of my real mass flowrate?
thx
