Antisymmetry
Use the Antisymmetry node adds a boundary condition for an antisymmetry boundary. An antisymmetry condition is fixed in the plane and free in the out-of-plane direction.
When applied to an edge the antisymmetry plane is formed by the normal to the boundary and the edge tangent.
Shell Properties
The selection in this section only acts as a filter for the boundary selection. The constraint is applied all through the thickness of the shell.
