Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / mathematical model-building
Chinese term or phrase: 取1/4部分建模
This is from a paper regarding mathematical modeling for warhead / target simulations:

"计算中，按轴对称处理的，取1/4部分建模，目标靶板也采用1/4部分模型."

Thanks in advance for your help!

English translation:take 1/4 of the whole to construct the model
Explanation:
Due to rotational symmetry (按轴对称处理的), 1/4 of the whole is sufficient for constructing the model.

agree  Bogoyedov: Due to axial symmetry, only one quadrant needs to be considered in modeling the warhead and, likewise, the target.

take a 1/4 scale (model)


Explanation:
Since this is about simulating some experiment or effect, I think it would be more appropriate to see this as reducing the scale of the original, but I am not absolutely certain. The second part of the phrase seems to suggest this as well.
