3. Global Z-coordinate of point a, the origin of the local system.

4. Global X-coordinate of point b on the local x-axis.

5. Global Y-coordinate of point b on the local x-axis.

6. Global Z-coordinate of point b on the local x-axis.

Second line (leave blank if this surface is being defined within a part or a part instance):

Third line:

1. The “word” START.

2. Local x-coordinate of the starting point of the line segments.

3. Local y-coordinate of the starting point of the line segments.

Fourth and subsequent data lines define the various line, circular, and parabolic segments (see below for their format) that form the profile of the analytical surface.

Data lines to define surfaces created with TYPE=REVOLUTION: 

First line (leave blank if this surface is being defined within a part or a part instance):

1. Global X-coordinate of point a, the origin of the local system (see Figure 18.52–2).

2. Global Y-coordinate of point a, the origin of the local system.

3. Global Z-coordinate of point a, the origin of the local system.

4. Global X-coordinate of point b on the symmetry axis (the local z-axis).

5. Global Y-coordinate of point b on the symmetry axis (the local z-axis).

6. Global Z-coordinate of point b on the symmetry axis (the local z-axis).

Second line:

1. The “word” START.

2. Local r-coordinate of the starting point of the line segments.

3. Local z-coordinate of the starting point of the line segments.

Third and subsequent data lines define the various line, circular, and parabolic segments (see below for their format) that form the profile of the analytical surface.

Data lines that define the line segments that form the analytical surface for TYPE=SEGMENTS, TYPE=CYLINDER, and TYPE=REVOLUTION: 

Data line to define a straight line segment:

1. The “word” LINE.

2. x-coordinate of the end point of the line.

3. y-coordinate of the end point of the line.

Data line to define a circular arc segment (the arc must be less than 179.74°):

1. The “word” CIRCL.

2. x-coordinate of the end point of the circular arc.

3. y-coordinate of the end point of the circular arc.

4. x-coordinate of the center (origin) of the circular arc.

5. y-coordinate of the center (origin) of the circular arc.

Data line to define a parabolic arc segment:

1. The “word” PARAB.

2. Local x-coordinate of the middle point along the parabolic arc.

3. Local y-coordinate of the middle point along the parabolic arc.

4. Local x-coordinate of the end point of the parabolic arc.

5. Local y-coordinate of the end point of the parabolic arc.

For surfaces created with TYPE=SEGMENTS, the x- and y-coordinates are the global X- and Y-coordinates or r- and z-coordinates. For surfaces created with TYPE=CYLINDER, the x- and y-coordinates are the local x- and y-coordinates. For surfaces created with TYPE=REVOLUTION, the x- and y-coordinates are the local r- and z-coordinates.
