Confusion of Rotational symmetry simulink by OpenMC

[D-Benjamin]

Hello everyone:
I'm puzzled about the rotational symmetry simulink and I have some questions.
Following is a few of contents in OpenMC use's guide[ chapter 6.1.1] :
//"Rotationally-periodic boundary conditions can be specified for a pair of XPlane and YPlane"//

Does it means the angle must be equal to 90° when you do the rotational symmetry simulink? Can we only simulate 1/8 core of reactor by OpenMC or even less?

Any reply will be appreciated!
Best Wishes!

@D-Benjamin Yes, at the moment, rotationally-periodic boundary conditions can only be applied to pairs of x- and y-planes, so the best you could do right now is a 1/4-core model.
