Cyclic Symmetry with open joints/gaps
 

Do cyclic symmetry works with open joints and the contacts between them being bonded?

Furthermore, do the hoop continuity stress affects both the components due to the bonded contacts(as it behaves as a continuous component) in Cyclic symmetry. Whether the stiffness of the 2 parts will be affected in simulation due to the bonded contacts in cyclic symmetry, even if it is not joined in the real working of the component.
