Implicit Body
Mesh, 1.1.0
About this Block
What it does: The Gaussian Curvature block creates a scalar field consisting of the Gaussian curvature values of an input implicit body. The Gaussian curvature is the product of the maximum and minimum curvature fields. Tips:- Positive Gaussian curvature means that the curves through the point of extremal normal curvature “curve the same way”.
- A value of 0 for Gaussian curvature means that one of the curves through the point of extremal curvature has zero normal curvature.
- Negative Gaussian curvature means that the curves through the point of extremal curvature “curve in opposite ways”.
