@Ameen MS

For a simple solution you could draw a cylinder or disk (drawcylinder(),drawdisk()) they both have an inner and outer radius and you could stick halve of it underground.

Other simple solution would be to make a arc in a 3D software like autocad (or AC3D which is cheap but works very well) scale it to 1x1x1 and then make it the size you want. This means that there is still quite some flexibility in making it dynamic

Or look into creating your own mesh (mesh() ) and create your arc with opengl.

@Ameen MS Create a 3D curve/arc in AutoCAD and import into FlexSim.
