Parabola problem

Parabola problem

Parabola problem

(OP)
I am trying to create a parabolic datum curve using the from equation option.  I'm not having any success.  The equation of the parabola is X=(y^2)/(4*F) with the focal point at 1490.  Can anyone help?  Unfortunately, There is not much documentation on how to use this functionality.

RE: Parabola problem

Not sure if this is what you need, but it might help:

CODE

F= 1490
s= 1490*t

x = (s^2)/(4*F)
y = s
z = 0
