6.8.5 Slitting Periodic Zones

If you wish to decouple the zones in a periodic pair, you can use the mesh/modify-zones/
slit-periodic text command.

mesh $\rightarrow$ modify-zones $\rightarrow$ slit-periodic

You will specify the periodic zone's name or ID, and the solver will decouple the two zones in the pair (the periodic zone and its shadow) and change them to two symmetry zones:

/mesh/modify-zones> slit-periodic

Periodic zone [()] periodic-1

Slit periodic zone? [yes] yes


 Slit periodic zone.
