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.
