I've attached a screen shot of a frame for some mobilemachinery I'm analyzing. As you can see, I've cut the model alongthe mid-plane and applied the symmetry constraint to all resultingfaces along the midplane. The machine is fixed at the pinconnections for each of four jacks (2 here due to symmetry) and Ihave applied loads to the flat faces in 2 places as shown.

Is it incorrect to attempt to mirror a load in this way inSimulation? If this method does yield acceptable results, is theload I specify effectively doubled due to the symmetry or is thevalue i specify the full load applied?

Thanks,
