Implicit Body, Curvature Enum

Mesh, Curvature Enum, 1.1.0

About this Block

What it does: The Curvature block creates a scalar field of the curvature values of an input implicit body or mesh. Curvature measures how quickly a curve is changing direction at a certain point.
Tips
  • The maximum and minimum curvatures are the principal curvatures, and they occur in orthogonal directions.
  • Their average is the mean curvature and their product is the Gaussian curvature.
