The next step is to create the conical anode section of the hollow cathode thruster.

To do this select "Cone." Again you have the choice of using the mouse or typing in the specifications using the "Keyboard Entry" menu. If you use the mouse you specify the first radius, the second radius, and then the height. For the cone it is much easier to type in the values. A cone starting at (0.0, 0.0, 150.0) with "Radius 1" = 18.0 mm, "Radius 2" = 490.0 mm, and "Height" = 150.0 mm has been created.
