Create General Conic

The GCONIC statement produces a Unigraphics NX general conic. Based on the supplied data, any form of the GCONIC statement (except statements containing a RHO value) generates one of the following geometric objects.

CIRCLE
HYPERBOLA
ELLIPSE
PARABOLA

The GCONIC statement is a vehicle to supply NXwith the necessary values to use the general quadratic conic equation to calculate the conic.

Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

The GCONIC statement provides six methods of generating a general conic. The first five methods use previously defined points, vectors, etc. and the sixth uses the coefficients of a general conic.
