Mirror a node, element or mesh set and move/copy. If a section shape is symmetrical, model only half and use the mirror (copy) function to easily model the whole section.  

Select the node, element or mesh set to mirror move/copy and select the mirror type. The mirror types are point, axis and plane. Use the copy target option to use mirror move and copy simultaneously.

<Mirror point>                                          <Mirror axis>

<Mirror plane>

Mirror Type

[Point] : Directly select the mirror point or input the coordinates.

[Axis] : Select the mirror axis on the GCS or define an arbitrary vector axis that connects the start and end points.

[Plane] : Select the mirror plane or define an arbitrary plane that passes 3 points.

Copy Prestress for 1D Elements

If the anchor is modeled as a 1D element and the prestress load is entered, the load information is also copied when copying the anchor.

Generating an element using the mirror move operation reverses its coordinates with respect to the original element.

For example, the normal direction is reversed for 2D elements that are mirrored about an axis or point. This creates an error during analysis and the element coordinate system needs to be united from Mesh > Element > Parameter.
