miter#
- Piping.miter(nel1='', nel2='', rad='', ndiv='', estrt='', einc='', **kwargs)#
Defines a mitered bend in a piping run.
Mechanical APDL Command: MITER
- Parameters:
- nel1
str Element numbers of the two intersecting straight pipes. Defaults to the last two straight pipe elements nearest the intersection of the last two runs.
- nel2
str 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
str Bend radius. If LR, use long radius standard (1.5 x OD) (default). If SR, use short radius standard (1.0 x OD).
- ndiv
str Number of divisions (elements) along bend (defaults to 2). A node is generated at the end of each division.
- estrt
str Number to be assigned to first element of bend (defaults to MAXEL + 1).
- einc
str Element number increment (defaults to 1).
- nel1
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 Archived Commands.)
