RegionMinCurvature
RegionMinCurvature[reg,p]
gives the minimum curvature of the region reg at the point p.
Details
- RegionMinCurvature is also known as a principal curvature.
- RegionMinCurvature is typically used to measure how the surface bends in a normal direction at point.
- RegionMinCurvature[reg,p] gives the minimum value of the curvature of the surface reg at p in a normal direction.
