Finding the Construction pattern of minimal surface

[qazal]

hello everybody
hope you all have a good time
I wanted to ask if anybody knows how can I find the pattern of these kinds of minimal surfaces in grasshopper?

like this:

MINIMAL SURFACE / COMPLEX FORMING – IAAC Blog

Hello
In the paper they explain how to make such shapes. Rough shapes are done by hand in rhino (you could use grasshopper) then you apply a tool ro relax the shape and make a minimal surfaces. Kangaroo is used here but there are others tools.

Search also for Costa minimal surfaces

Isothermic Costa Surface

Greetings, I’m attempting to planarize a Costa minimal surface using the isothermic goal. I haven’t had much success, and I’ve been wondering if there are issues with the outer boundary of my surface, and/or my K2 setup. For reference, the mesh was originally modeled in Mathematica and cleaned up manually in Rhino. Suggestions welcome! (I do recall seeing a post on this several years ago on the old forum, but thought I’d understand more about this goal with a new discussion) While I’m here…

thanks
yeah i know the process
but i don’t know how can I apply relax tool
and then how to find fabrication strips

There are lots of tool to relax a shape, Kangaroo, Millipede, Sl

Millipede Plugin Grasshopper 3D — CREATIVE MUTATION

Minimal Surface Creator

The components I use (from starling and Millepede)

Inputs for mesh are quite simple, number of iterations (important to go not too high for mesh that couldn’t become minimal surfaces), and some coefficients for millepede.

For stripping, you have strip in Kangaroo and plugin Stripper

Stripper

I did some stripper myself but I don’t distribute them (except for IAAC)

Uniform developable strips in Z direction

Hello, I’m trying to use Kangaroo stripper to have nice and continuous developable strips out of the mesh in the first image, but I have random strips going in different directions. I need help to make them continuous and mostly going in the Z direction. GH file is attached. [01] Reference Image [01_Global-geometry_-1024x498] [02] Stripper.gh (84.4 KB)

Uniform developable strips in Z direction

Here examples of these 2 approaches: even_valence_quadmesh.gh (22.1 KB) multipipe_strips.gh (21.0 KB) [warpweft] [buildingblocks] (note that when composing these elements, you need to take care to only do so in a way that the valence stays even -the orientation of that division of the flat hexagon into 2 quads matters) [Multipipe_strips] The other nice thing about even valence quad meshes I forgot to mention is that it is also what is needed for making semi-discrete surfaces (ie smooth…

thanks a lot
i really appreciate it

thanks, daniel
i checked the links
it was so useful for me
