This lecture covers the concept of symmetry and boundary conditions in finite element models. Topics include interpreting load cases, distributed loads, displacement boundary conditions, and rotational body forces. The instructor explains the importance of maintaining symmetry in geometry, materials, and loads for accurate modeling. Symmetries help reduce model size, simplify boundary conditions, and streamline post-processing efforts.
