Supports facilities that do not warrant an individual section. Currently, this section is only used to define bend radius values.
The input structure in this FDF section is a section heading:
MISC-DEFINITIONS
followed by the bend radius definition:
BEND-RADIUS data units
where
-
data = the pipe bend radius.
-
units = inches or millimeters, when RADIUS is a value, and D when the radius is a number of pipe diameters.
Consider the following:
MISC-DEFINITIONS
BEND-RADIUS 5 D
Other typical data inputs are:
BEND-RADIUS 3 D
BEND-RADIUS 5.5 D
BEND-RADIUS 12 INCH
BEND-RADIUS 18.5 INCH
BEND-RADIUS 220 MM
BEND-RADIUS 1250 MM
Bend radius information is used by both the CoG and weights facilities.
