have to do it 2 times

if surface a is minimum and surface b is minimum, then surface a+b is of course minimum

The workflow would be something like:

- Create the base shape out of several surface patches.

- Join them together into a brep/polysurface

- Create a mesh out of the brep

- Input the mesh into Kangaroo or other plugin to relax the mesh.

The resulting geometry is a mesh object. If you really need it as nurbs surfaces there are several way you could transform it back to a brep, but the result will be several surfaces joined together, not a single one.

See the attached definition.
