Can anybody suggest how to specify no of rods(two/four) of Tied Expansion joint.

Also if am using 2 rods i would like to specify the rod orientation like placed laterally / up&down . is that possible.

Thanks

If you're building the joint manually, check the examples in the Applications Guide. Instead of 4 rods, just model 2.

If you're using the modeler, if I remember correctly, IWK uses two rods, and prompts for the "plane" they are in.
