Symmetry
This node provides a boundary condition for symmetry boundaries. This boundary condition is similar to a Thermal Insulation condition, and it means that there is no heat flux across the boundary.
The symmetry condition only applies to the temperature field. It has no effect on the radiosity (surface-to-surface radiation) and on the radiative intensity (radiation in participating media). Use Symmetry for Surface-to-Surface Radiation to account for the symmetry in the computation of the view factors.
