The "Applications Guide" found in the CII help menu is very clear on the required information to define a Mitered Bend. Is there something you do not understand in it?

For C2 -widely-spaced miters have cut=1; closely-spaced miters have cuts > 1. Be sure to enter the proper, "effective" radii for these components. Terms are defined in the piping codes (e.g. Appx. D of B31.3).
