Bend Radii

Bend radii will be output, by default, for all pulled bends (that is for all components with SKEYs beginning with PB). Bend radii can be shown either in distance units or as multiples of pipe diameters (where pipe diameter is taken as the nominal bore of the pipe) by using the BENDRADIUS command. Output of bend radii can also be suppressed.

A standard radius for bends can be set using the BENDRADIUS STANDARD command. It can be positioned as a note on the isometric plot using the POSITION command. If a standard radius is set, only bends which have radii different from the standard radius will have their radii shown individually. Both the standard radius and any individual radii will be shown in the same format (that means, in distance units or in pipe diameters).

Note that only the actual value of the standard radius will be output. Any other text, such as:

All pulled bends to be   D unless otherwise shown

where the value is positioned in the space immediately before the D, must be plotted by some other method, such as an underlay. See the UNDERLAYPLOTFILE command.
