[Gmsh] Symetry : when it is become explicit ?

[Adrien Girard]

Hello,

I just finish university and I am now working as a mechanical engineer and
I am still confused with some points of FEM theory.

I have to make the complete thermal analysis of a rectangular box, I
decided to use the symetry of the problem and thus modelise only 1/8 of the
box. But now, I wonder when I have to add the symetry to the problem.

- 1) to the mechanical model ? (before the simulation)
- 2) at the simulation phase ?
- 3) only for the post process, to visualise the result ?

Thank you for your help
