NEL1, NEL2

Element numbers of the two intersecting straight pipes. Defaults to the last two straight pipe elements nearest the intersection of the last two runs.

RAD

Bend radius. If LR, use long radius standard (1.5 x OD) (default). If SR, use short radius standard (1.0 x OD).

NDIV

Number of divisions (elements) along bend (defaults to 2). A node is generated at the end of each division.

ESTRT

Number to be assigned to first element of bend (defaults to MAXEL + 1).

EINC

Element number increment (defaults to 1).

Notes

Defines a mitered bend of piecewise straight-pipe PIPE16 elements in place of the intersection of two previously defined straight pipe elements (RUN). This command is similar to the BEND command except that straight pipe elements are used to form the bend instead of curved (elbow) elements. (See the RUN and BEND command descriptions in Part II: Archived Commands.)
