...resource -- not just the 50% of the missing piece. If we double the size of a model, it is likely to increase the solver time by something like 10 times. Larger models might not even solve at all. So, using such symmetry shortcuts is a valuable saving. The only complication is the anti-symmetry boundary condition on the cut face. We’ll say a bit more about that during...
