Spatial Coordinates as parameter

Hello all,
I am attempting to create a structure that continuously changes with height--there are multiple optical fibers, and they increase in size as they get further away from one end of the model. It's similar to a truncated cone, but with a much more complex internal structure that would be difficult ti model with a cone. I think the easiest way to do this would be to invoke the z-coordinate as a parameter in the model I am building, but cannot figure out how to do this.
If you know how to do this, please reply.

I found some pictures to illustrate my meaning:
Image 1, the hexagonal prism with embedded optical fibers, shows what I wish to modify. Image 2 shows a magnifier along the lines that I am envisaging, but made with simple truncated cones.
