Finite Element Symmetry Problem

[scootypuffsnr]

Hi,

I am running a finite element on a cylinder with that converges at the bottom for a opening, which is symmetrical in both directions so i modeled one quarter but the problem is my stresses are the same with when i compare with a full model that i also done but the deflections are different

any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you

Maybe the deflection constraints for the quartered section are incorrect? The edges must remain perpendicular to the cut planes.
