Abstract
An example case for a gas turbine engine includes a bearing compartment, a radially outer ring, and a radially inner ring. The radially outer ring and radially inner ring are connected by a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart struts and define an annular flow path therebetween. The radially inner ring includes a first flange that extends radially outward from the bearing compartment. The first flange includes an undulation that extends axially away from the plurality of struts, and defines a load path between the bearing compartment and the radially outer ring.
