Cyclic Symmetry with Multiple Cyclic Index (Angles)
Hi, it would be appreciated, if any one can clarify for the below query.
1) Can we use different sector angles for each component of an Assembly in cyclic symmetry analysis? For example, we are providing 36 (1/10th) degrees of sector angle to Component A and 72 (1/5th) degrees to Component B of sector angle in the assembly.
2) If we could achieve the same, how can we extract the results for the full model, as Ansys provides the option of giving sector number (number of Sector) for Result Interpretation (Solution-Analysis Setting) for complete model?
A simplified representation is provided in the figure.

Hi Santosh,
To use of different sector angles for different components in case of cyclic symmetry 'Multistage cyclic symmetry' can be used.
For the second question, this PyDPF example might be helpful:
