    Not directly in sketcher, but you can create a datum curve by equation.
    You should then be able to reference that curve in another sketch and
    revolve, etc...

    Use a Conic curve in sketcher, the parameter on the curve is Rho


    You can modify rho as follows:


    parabola, use the default value of 0.5.

    ● For a hyperbola, type a value between 0.5 and 0.95.


    You can also modify the angles at the ends of the curve
