Specifies the minimum angle CAESAR II will accept for a bend angle. The default value is 5.0 degrees.

Very small angles, short radius bends can cause numerical problems during solution. When you have a reasonable radius and a small angle, problems rarely arise. However, if the small angle bend is grossly small compared to the surrounding elements, then a different modeling approach is recommended so that the bend is not used.
