Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi everyone,

I have been reading a lot of discussions on meshing surfaces, papers on different meshing techniques (based on curvatures, relaxation, morphing). I'm quite filled with theories and I think I get the big pictue now. Though, I couldn't get to solve my meshing issue  !

It may be a stupid question, but I've been stuck on this the whole day.

I'm trying to mesh a specific patch surface. The mesh needs to be defined adequatly because I'll be using it for form-finding using dynamic relaxation in order to supress the bending moments in my final structure (cf Heinz Isler's work).

Through my readings and Daniel's amazing research, my best guess would be to "wrap" a basic rectangular mesh on my 3D surface or to try some conformalization methods (http://vimeo.com/18269637).

Still being quite new in GH I can't manage to make it work. So there's  the simple question : can you help me making a proper mesh (quads would be best) out of a 3D non regular surface ?

Here's attached the GH shape definition.

Thanks, a lot, in advance

Thomas
