Modelling of a safety pad on a pipe bend around a trunnion support

I'm looking for a way to model a safety pad on a pipe bend which curves around a trunnion support, keeping the width constant the whole way around (see the picture). I've come up with a very good approximation by rotating an oval on the corner in ansys workbench, however, I'm wondering if there is a way to get it exact. Is there some sort of integration using the pipe bend radius, the pipe diameter and the trunnion diameter which will allow me to model an exact 3D plane?
