Translational Periodicity dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Type
Type	Specifies the type of translational periodicity.
Name
Name	Sets the name of the cyclic symmetry condition that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Simulation Objects Container node.
Description	Sets the description.
Destination Folder
Simulation Objects Container	Lets you specify the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the cyclic symmetry condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command.
Source Region (slave)
Source Region	Lets you select the Source Region of the cyclic condition. For more information on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Target Region (master)
Target Region	Lets you select a Target Region of the cyclic condition. For more information on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Swap Regions
Swap Regions	Appears when Type is set to Surface-to-Surface Translational Periodicity.Lets you swap defined regions.
Direction (Tx Ty Tz)
Specify Vector	Defines the translation vector direction.
Translation Coefficient	Defines the translation value.
Relative Displacement
Select Relative Displacement Node (NDIS)	Defines a node to compute the relative displacement between the nodes of the Source Region and the faces of the Target Region.For more information, see the NDIS parameter of the Samcef .ZYG command.
Advanced Parameters
Translation Stiffness (KTRA)	Defines the translation stiffness.For more information, see the KTRA parameter of the Samcef .ZYG command.
Projection Parameters
Projection Allowed (PROJ)	Activates the projection procedure.Clear the Activate Projection Procedure check box to prevent the projection.For more information, see the PROJ parameter of the Samcef .ZYG command.
Normal Distance (PRECN)	Lets you define the normal distance threshold for the projection.Note: Samcef automatically computes a default for this distance if omitted.For more information, see the PRECN parameter of the Samcef .ZYG command.
Tangential Distance (PRECT)	Lets you define the tangential distance threshold or the projection.Note: Samcef automatically computes a default for this distance if omitted.For more information, see the PRECT parameter of the Samcef .ZYG command.
Ancillary Display
For more details, see Ancillary Display dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)
