The ShapePlanarSymmetry object defines a shape planar symmetry geometric restriction.
The ShapePlanarSymmetry object is derived from the GeometricRestriction object.

mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].geometricRestrictions[name]
This method creates a ShapePlanarSymmetry object.
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].ShapePlanarSymmetry
Required arguments
A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key.
A VertexArray object of length 2 specifying the vector positioned at the csys origin which is normal to the symmetry plane. Instead of through a Vertex, each point may be specified through a tuple of coordinates.
A Region object specifying the region to which the geometric restriction is applied. When used with a TopologyTask, there is no default value. When used with a ShapeTask, the default value is MODEL.
Optional arguments
None or a DatumCsys object specifying the local coordinate system. If csys=None, the global coordinate system is used. When this member is queried, it returns an Int. The default value is None.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the rule for determining the master node. Possible values are MAXIMUM and MINIMUM. The default value is MAXIMUM.
A Boolean specifying whether to ignore the geometric restriction in the first design cycle. The default value is ON.
A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 1-direction. The default value is 0.01.
A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 2-direction. The default value is 0.01.
A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 3-direction. The default value is 0.01.
Return value
A ShapePlanarSymmetry object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the ShapePlanarSymmetry object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the ShapePlanarSymmetry method, except for the name argument.
Return value
Exceptions
The ShapePlanarSymmetry object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the ShapePlanarSymmetry method.
