Wouldn't you then get two sets of integral curves (although very nicely spaced - that paper is great!) from one 2d vector field (say the max curvature directions)? As opposed to the composition of the integral curves of two 2d vectors fields (both t…
Have you checked out CGAL's streamline placement? It's a 2d algorithm, but if you work in UV coordinates and use local tangent planes, it should work...
What are the loading conditions for this scenario?
The thing I always get hung up on is that stress lines are determined by the loads, supports, and geometry, whereas curvature lines depend on geometry only. So by changing loading conditions, you ca…
I wonder for which kinds of shapes are the principal curvature lines equivalent to the principal stress lines? Would this lead to a new class of "optimal surfaces"?
It works with a sphere, but maybe only because every direction is principal....

Hi Casey,
I'm organizing a discussion series called Architecture in Combination that more or less focuses issues associated with parametric modeling and Grasshopper in Toronto.
Check out architectureincombination.wordpress.com. Our next session is…
As architectural forms are increasingly developed parametrically, a representational relationship is imposed between the driving parameters of the form and the resultant geometry. In light of this new relationship, Dr. Chakravartty will explore how…

hi I've been looking into Toronto based grasshopper groups or training groups, would you know more on this end. Recently relocated to Toronto from the UK.
