Reaction force and symmetry condition

Hello Everyone,

 

Simple question... If I have a model that is symmetrical (with the corresponding symmetry constraint), should I multiply by two the total reaction force?

Hi Estaban,

 

Yes, the reaction force for the entire model is twice the reaction force from the half symmetry model.
