Error for 102° elbow
Thread Content
This post was last edited by Tianlan Yundi on 2012-6-30 at 10:47. I entered a bend angle of 90 degrees; after running the simulation, an error occurred stating that the bend angle was 102°, while the allowed range is 5° to 95°. How can I make this correction? Geometry directions? Also, what do the M and node number at the bottom of the input field for elbows mean?
1. In the configuration settings, you can set the maximum and minimum angles for the elbow; setting these values will resolve the issue. 2. By default, the elbow element in CII has three nodes: the node entered above is located at the center of the elbow, while the other two are at the ends of the elbow. You can check this by looking at the node numbers in the model. Additionally, the default elbow length for cii is 1.5 times the outer diameter of the pipe; if the entered length is less than this value, the program will generate an error. This issue can be resolved by modifying the elbow radius or by removing one of the two nodes mentioned below. I hope this helps you.
