Yes, though the following procedure : First, create the beam model and define the beam’s model type to “Pipe”. Then, in the boundary conditions, add a “Pipe Idealization” condition. This will transform the mesh of selected edges from PIPE elements to ELBOW elements. More information on Pipe Idealization can be found in the Ansys Help : Mechanical Applications / Mechanical User’s Guide / Setting up boundary conditions / Types of boundary conditions / Conditions Type Boundary Conditions / Pipe Idealization.
