I would like to model a pipe that turns in the horizontal(x,z)plane after a 90° bend at the end of a rise in the +Y direction. If the turn in the x,z plane(about the Y axis) is a multiple of 90°, the bend is formed correctly. If the the turn is a 45° or 30° (or any other I would think...) the result is a gap between the "out" side of the elbow and the "in" side of the following pipe segment. This gap results in a fatal error when I try to run the analysis.

Any help on how to model this situation correctly would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
