This function is used to
create a conical binder surface using two arcs.
The radius defined at each end of the binder determines the conical
shape. Once the function is selected, the input fields of Radius 1 and Radius 2, as illustrated in Figure 7.2.8, are activated.

The user can drag
the slider to modify the Radius 1 and Radius 2, simultaneously or separately.
Click on the radio button located next to Radius 1 and Radius 2 to activate the
slider effect. Radius 1 is the starting
radius at the tail end of the U direction that is marked with an arrowhead. Radius 2 is the end radius on the opposite
end of the binder. eta/DYNAFORM
dynamically displays the binder shape as the user drag the slider to modify the
radius. Figure
7.2.9 shows a typical conical binder.

Note: eta/DYNAFORM calculates the default conical Radius 1 and conical Radius 2 based on the size and shape of the part.
