Is axial periodicity the same as axisymmetric simulation?

Hello,

I am trying to simplify a pipe flow to a 2D axisymmetric flow simulation and thought axial periodicity will do the job but I find a big different between my velocity/pressure results when comparing to 3D simulation! I can tell that the axial periodicity results are wrong. Can somebody from Solidworks flow comment about this?
