How to Create 2D/Axisymmetric Analysis Model from 3D Model

2D or axisymmetric analysis models can be created from 3D models.
See [Review the Model], where the advantage of 2D/axisymmetric analysis is explained.

In this process,

the body attributes, the material properties and the boundary conditions are inherited from the original model.

Note that the boundary conditions are inherited as imprinting body.

Procedure

On the project tree, select the analysis model name that you want to convert to 2D or axisymmetric analysis.

Right click on it and click [Create 2D Analysis Model].

Fill in each entry field and click OK.
See the table below for the details.

The 2D/axisymmetric analysis model will be created and opened automatically.

List for Setting Items

Items	Notes
Analysis Type	Specifies the analysis type. See [Review the Model] for the features of each type.
Body thickness	Specifies the body thickness. You can change the thickness of individual bodies after the 2D analysis model is created.
Origin	Specifies the coordinates of the origin.
X axis	Specifies the coordinates of a point on X axis.
Z axis	Specifies the coordinates of a point on Z axis.
