Here is the Tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Start Creo element or pro engineer in part mode.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Offset the top plane by 200mm.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Offset the top plane again by 200mm but in opposite direction or input -200mm.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Select DTM2 and then Sketch.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Draw a spline and exit the sketch.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Select the Top plane and then Sketch.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Draw a spline and exit the sketch.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Select the DTM1 and then Sketch.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Draw a spline and then exit the sketch.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Insert>>advanced>>conic surface and N-sided patch.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Select conic surface and then shoulder curve and then click Done.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Select boundaries and then select the splines in DTM1 and DTM2 while holding down ctrl key.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Now click on Shoulder curve and then select the splne on the top plane. And click done curves.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Enter the conic parameter value. Let's enter a value of 0.7.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Click OK and surface is generated.
