Hi, don´t know if is a bug or feature, but I have solved a model and then put some parts of the assembly in the postprocessing window, and after try to make symmetry (only) of the results… but I found that it not ask for wich part must be applied the symetry and is in all components. Is that a bug or feature?

Sounds more like a feature - it just transforms all the parts in the model. But of course, there could be an option to choose specific parts.

That would be an interesting option 🙂

What’s interesting, Abaqus also transforms everything. But to add extra geometries to results, you need to apply so-called Display body constraint. And there’s a separate checkbox for its mirroring, but not for other transformations:
