This link condition is a combination of cyclic rotational and planar
symmetry. First, the cyclic symmetry is enforced and afterwards the
surface is modified to ensure plane symmetry in each segment. The plane
for each segment cuts the segment into two halves. The following parameters
are necessary for the definition of the link condition:
CLIENT = SURF_CYCLIC_PLANE_SYM
CLIENT_DIR = <X_1>, <X_2>, <X_3>
CS = name_of_coord_system
OL = tolerance_value
NGLE = angle in degree
YCLIC_SYM_START = <X_1>, <X_2>, <X_3>
In comparison to the SURF_CYCLIC_SYM case, the CYCLIC_SYM_START
point is really important here. As it defines the starting point of the
partitioning process, this point directly influences the areas that shall
be made plane symmetric. Its coordinates are given with reference to
the global cartesian coordinate system.
The figure above shows the differences between the different SURF_*_SYM restrictions.
From left to right this is a) plane symmetry (SURF_PLANE_SYM), b) cyclic symmetry (SURF_CYCLIC_SYM)
and c) the combination of plane and cyclic symmetry (SURF_CYCLIC_PLANE_SYM).
