Problem:

How to model Metraloop expansion loops made by Metraflex?

Solution:

Model as a series of normal piping components.

a. Flanges (quantity = 2)

b. 90 deg Bend (quantity = 4)

c. Flexible Joints (quantity = 2)

1. Bentley TSG cannot provide design settings for model, contact manufacture for Flexible Joint values required by dialog.

2. Add supports between bends as required.
