| The cone program will design flat layouts that can be rolled or bent up into a cone shaped object. This program will allow you to define an object with an open top or a close top (hat). The questions refer to thickness, diameter and height. A dimension line will appear on the cone referring to each question. The cone changes shape according to the inputs. The cone display is not in full scale, but in proportion to the full size cone. The output answer can be in decimal or fractions. If decimal is selected the output will be rounded to the nearest thousandths. If fraction is selected, you must select accuracy, this means the output will be displayed in fractional form and rounded to the accuracy chosen. There will be a menu in the upper right hand corner of the screen to go to different sections of the program. The layout page display will show a layout in proportion and not in full scale. The layout will give two different types of numbers: the first is in the coordinate format, which is important to use when the radius swing is approximately 180 degrees; the other is a general format giving the chord length, radius length and segment height, and should be used to double check the coordinate type numbers. Selection details will display specifications about the cone and size of the sheet of material needed for each section of the cone. |

| Thickness Thickness of metal that will be used in the cone. Top Dimension Ds Choose Inside or Outside depending on the information given about the cone (example, if Ds is given from outside to outside, then select outside diameter, and input correct diameter). Bottom Dimension Dl Choose Inside or Outside depending on the information given about the cone (example, if Dl is given from inside to inside then select inside diameter, and input correct diameter). No. of Sections The Cone can have as many sections as the forming machines will need. |

Layout A Radius from the smaller diameter. B Radius from the larger diameter. C Chord from the smaller diameter. D Chord from the larger diameter. E Height from chord to highest point of the arc. F Height from chord to highest point of the arc. Center Point Initial point to swing all radius (0,0).Small Radius Start Starting point to swing smaller diameter radius. Small Radius End Ending point to swing smaller diameter radius. Large Radius Start Starting point to swing larger diameter radius. Large Radius End Ending point to swing larger diameter radius. |
