This option is used to define a cavity symmetry by reflection through a line or a plane. It can be used only following the *RADIATION SYMMETRY option.
Product: ABAQUS/Standard
Type: History data
Level: Step
Set TYPE=LINE to create a cavity composed of the cavity surface defined in the model and its reflection through a line. See Figure 17.121. This option can be used only for two-dimensional cases.
Set TYPE=PLANE to create a cavity composed of the cavity surface defined in the model and its reflection through a plane. See Figure 17.122. This option can be used only for three-dimensional cases.
Set TYPE=ZCONST to create a cavity composed by the cavity surface defined in the model and its reflection through a line of constant -coordinate. See Figure 17.123. This option can be used only for axisymmetric cases.
