Flare

Create a flare or a pyramid. Flares are often used in the construction of horn antennas and waveguide transitions.

On the Construct tab, in the Create Solid group, click the  Flare icon.
Tip: Press C,2 to use the shortcut key.

Method 1: Base centre, bottom width, bottom depth, height, top width, top depth



Base centre (C) The centre of the flare base
Bottom width (Wb) The width of the base in the U axis direction.
Bottom depth (Db) The depth of the base in the V axis direction.
Height (H) The height of the flare, in the N axis direction.
Top width (Wt) The width of the top in the U axis direction.
Top depth (Dt) The depth of the top in the V axis direction.

Method 2: Base corner, bottom width, bottom depth, height, top width, top depth



Base corner (C) The corner of the flare base.
Bottom width (Wb) The width of the base in the U axis direction.
Bottom depth (Db) The depth of the base in the V axis direction.
Height (H) The height of the flare, in the N axis direction.
Top width (Wt) The width of the top in the U axis direction.
Top depth (Dt) The depth of the top in the V axis direction.

Method 3: Base corner, top corner, bottom width, bottom depth



Base corner (C) The corner of the flare base.
Top corner (Ct) The corner of the flare top.
Bottom width (Wb) The width of the base in the U axis direction.
Bottom depth (Db) The depth of the base in the V axis direction.

Method 4: Base centre, width, depth, height, flare angle 1, flare angle 2



Base centre (Cb) The centre of the flare base.
Bottom width (Wb) The width of the base in the U axis direction.
Bottom depth (Db) The depth of the base in the V axis direction.
Height (H) The height of the flare in the N axis direction.
Flare angle (AU) The angle of the flare from the UN plane.
Flare angle (AV) The angle of the flare from the VN plane.
