The effect of density-dependent symmetry energy on elliptical flow is studied using the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model (IQMD). We have used the reduced isospin-dependent cross-section with hard (H) equation of state to study the sensitivity of the elliptical flow to symmetry energy in the energy range 50-1000MeV/nucleon. The elliptical flow becomes zero at a particular energy termed as transition energy. A systematic effort has been made to pin down the transition energy for the density-dependent symmetry energy.
