CAESAR II Version
11.0 (2019)

Displays the node number associated with the extra point on the bend. CAESAR II places unique node numbers in these boxes whenever you initiate a bend. New, unique node numbers must be assigned to the points whenever you add points on the bend curvature. If numbering by fives and the To node number for the bend element is 35, a logical choice for the node number for an added node at 30 degrees on the bend would be 34. You can treat the added nodes on the bend like any other nodes in the piping system. Nodes on the bend curvature may be restrained, displaced, or placed at the intersection of more than two pipes. Nodes on a bend curvature are most commonly used as an intersection for a dummy leg or for the location of a restraint. All nodes defined in this manner are plotted at the tangent intersection point for the bend.
