Dear all,

How do you model miter joints (formed by butt welding trimmed ends of 2 pipes) in CII? To my understanding it's not a bend nor closely/widely spaced miter bend- as it contains 0 segments.

A similar question is, can i change the direction of the pipe between 2 runs without specifying "Bend"? What would be the SIF in that case? Is it considered as a normal butt weld joint or CII computes for special SIF for that?
