General Description

Short Info

In the field of structural optimization it is often necessary to apply a constraining of surface curvature in order to maintain manufacturing constraints. To this purpose, Carat++ provides an estimation tool to approximate the mean curvature at a surface node.


Estimation of nodal curvature

The nodal curvature is estimated using the surface normal vector and access vectors to the surrounding nodes.
