Specifies the maximum angle CAESAR II will accept for a bend. The default value is 95-degrees.

Very large angles, short radius bends can cause numerical problems during solution. When you have a reasonable radius and a large angle, problems rarely arise. However, if the large angle bend plots well when compared to the surrounding elements, then the bend can probably be used without difficulty. Well-proportioned bends up to 135-degrees have been tested without a problem.
