  • Abstract
    A new algorithm can derive one or more minimal surfaces from an initial arbitrary surface with a fixed boundary. A discrete surface is a mesh represented as a set of vertices in 3D. The method extends earlier work, which used linear elastic springs to simulate a spider web animated in 3D.
