Controls the amount of accuracy included in the system dimensions around bends. The default attachment is 1.0 percent.

When the element leaving the tangent intersection of a bend is within (n)% of the bend radius on either side of the weld line, CAESAR II inserts an element from the bend weld line to the To node of the element leaving the bend. The inserted element has a length equal to exactly (n)% of the bend radius. You can use Bend Length Attachment Percent to adjust this percentage to reduce the error due to the inserted element; however, the length tolerance for elements leaving the bend will also be reduced.
