I want to draw an enclosure around the body but it is not symmetric about XZ plane, how can i draw enclosure around it or how can i make it symmetric about that plane?
best wishes |

You could mark a face of the body and create a new plane from that face. Then you can move/mirror/do other body transformations to your reference plane (XZ plane).

I wanted to create an enclosure around the body and use just the other part of the body for simulation, however it is not symmetric about the plane. How can I make it symmetric?

mark the face of the enclosure - body transformation - destination plane is your symmetry plane. |

Hi,
I am not sure if I understand your question well. Perhaps you can slice the geometry using xy plane, suppress the undesired part want and define the cut face as symmetry in mesh. Hope it helps. Regards, Wang Zhe |
