Where is the parametric part used in the Pipe Bends settings?

I am looking to add a few pipe sweeps to a pipe spec and I would prefer to use the parametric part that is shown in the bent pipe settings, but cannot find it in any of the catalogs.  Does anyone know where the parametric part for an elbow with (2) defined tangent lengths can be found?

There are options in the OOTB catalogs that are similar, but the one above eludes me.

 

We need to list bends/sweeps as fittings.  However we also have a variety of sweeps, so the global project setting will not work for us.

 

thanks,

Do you want the readymade comments or want to create new?

I would like to be able copy the parametric into our custom catalog and modify.

 

I have searched through the available shapes in the new part creation menu, but it does not seem to exist in there. CPBP_PLPL is close, however it defines overall length instead of tangent length.

Please create the bend with most matched bend and when you enter size  parameter data in catalog, you will see the L1 and L2 parameter in it. Fill the required length for L1 & L2.

Closest bend  will not work, I need L1 and L2 to be the tangent straight length (as it is configured in the project bend settings), not overall length.

Under pipe shape choose the pulled bend shape during creation of component.

 

Please see below article link for how to work with pipe bend.
