Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- One two-bend offset with supplied fitting geometry; angle strictly 0–90° and remaining straight drop≥0. Actual cut allowances must follow product measurements. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
