Cyclic Symmetry in ANSYS v14.5
A number of enhancements have been made to improve the performance of the post-processor for cyclic symmetry models in ANSYS version 14.5. One of them is to display and animate results to only a fraction of the total model; consequently a fraction of the memory and computational expense is needed. Cyclic symmetry can for example be used on fan wheels and turbine blades, and is performed by dividing the model into N sectors, reducing the memory and computation time with 1/N when post-processing only a single sector. This can be a helpful tool when working on large models with small sector angels.
