I just see that there is the option to merge coincident nodes, but is there a way to make a simmetric copy of a meshed part?

There’s only Translate, Scale and Rotate under Part —\> Transform in the FE Model tab.

some work around by exporting successful meshed part then reimported, but add an option to copy in menus can be good feature to simplify.

More about mirroring meshes here: [How to apply symmetry to honeycomb core unit cells - #12 by FEAnalyst](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/how-to-apply-symmetry-to-honeycomb-core-unit-cells/2718/12)

It would indeed be helpful.

There is an option to Copy. Once the Transform form opens, change the operation:
