I’m currently modeling a 6”, 5156mm Diameter, Heater Ring. I have 40 branches living the header, so I have to make 40 elements.
Doing so and running the error checker, the following errors appear:

1) Bend Element 170 to 180 is not LONG ENOUGH to contain the bent curvature.

2) Bend Angle on element 170 to 180 is 4.5 Deg; it must be between 5.00 and 95.00 Deg

3) BEND ANGLE 3.375 specified for the bend element 150 to 160 is within 5.00 Deg of the bend far end point. Either use the bend far end point, node 160, or move the specified node more than 5.00 Deg, away from the end point.

As I already mentioned the ring has large radius, and I have to make small elements (4,5 to 9 Deg)in order to place the branches and supports.
I went to Configuration Setup, to Geometry Directives tab and made the following changes:

Minimum Allowable Bend Angle 2 (Default 5)
Bend Length Attachment Percent 2 (Default 1)
Minimum Angle to Adjacent Bent 2 (Default 5)


These modifications fix the problem. However, according to the Caesar Manual, can lead to numerical problems, or less accurate results.

Do I have to find out another way modeling my system or can I trust this?

This System this HEATER OUTLET 1500 F HYDROGEN Line so please answer only if you REALLY know what exactly are the effects of these modifications to Caesar Solution Method.

Thanks in advance
