Parabola

Menu access: Curve | Other curves | Parabola

Description:

Allows you to create a parabola curve in a coordinate system defined by its center, its X axis and the Z axis of the current coordinate system.

The equation is:

x = t

 

 y= tē/(4*df) where df is the focal distance

 

 z= 0

General philosophy:

  1. Indicate the center point.

  2. Indicate a point defining the parabola X-axis.

  3. Enter a focal distance.

  4. Indicate the parabola starting point.

  5. Indicate the parabola end point.

Specific point(s):

The starting and end points are projected on the parabola X-axis.
