Comment thread
marcvivesmassana marked this conversation as resolved.
- Flow360 does not support multiple symmetry planes in a single simulation. Only one symmetry plane can be used per simulation.

### Computational Benefits

- Reduces computational domain size by a factor of 2 for each symmetry plane
- Reduces computational domain size by a factor of 2 (note: only one symmetry plane is supported)
- Can significantly decrease mesh size and computation time
- Allows allocation of computational resources to higher mesh resolution in the simulated portion
