AXISYMMETRIC SOLIDS:

Axisymmetric concerns with a tube solid that has symmetry about its own axis.
The idea is to draw these keypoints then Lines then Area then rotate about center line.

- Axisymmetric Solid must be drawn vertically with Y-axis in (+ve) plane i.e first quarter, even we find the problem in Horizontal. - There is a basic method for drawing and advanced method with extrude. Now start with basic method:
Select SOLID : Quad 4 node 182

Select Axisymmetry and there will be NO Real Constants

Draw keypoints vertically with a suitable span from Origin.

Connect keypoints with straight Lines.

Create Areas Arbitrary By Lines, then select all lines and OK.

You will get this

Meshing Size cntrls Manual Size Lines Picked Lines, For short lines divisions = 5 For long lines divisions = 30

Apply Mapped mesh ( 3 or 4 sided ), pick the Area then OK

Apply Structural Displacement Symmetry B.C. (On Lines), then select upper and lower lines, then OK, nothing will be appear but constraints is done.

Its important to put Displacement constraints for equilibrium, else there will no solution.

Symmetric Boundary Conditions must be chosen if our problem concerns with Symmetry or Axisymmetry.

Apply Pressure on Line = 1e6 mean ( 1 Mpa )

At last we have to Rotate this Area by choosing 2D Axi-Symmetric , then select Full Expansion

This is the final drawing, also you can get (1/4) expansion, (1/2) expansion, (3/4) expansion.
