  • Sets angular curvature of branch at End1.
Angle 2 <angle value> between 20° and 89°
  • Displays angular curvature of branch set proportionally at End2.
Connection 1 | Length (L1)

Inlet | Length

Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets the straight length at End1.
Connection 2 | Length (L2)

Outlet | Length

Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets the straight length at End2.
Connection 3 | Length (L3) Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets the straight length at End3.
Connection | End Type fl -<numeric value>
  • Sets and sizes end with a flange connection.
m -<numeric value>
  • Sets and sizes end with a male connection.
fe -<numeric value>
