From ~ 20 years ago:

The more complex stuff is on the inside <g>.

Back in the days of CADDS-III you could "cheat" by using the FEM
meshing software & extracting the mesh to use for surface control
points .. LOL ....

Try doing this stuff in APT with NO graphics til you can get a plot:

Or by starting out with CFD point datasets or just sets of somewhat
complex (for some) equations.

Try starting here:

When you find something totally new under the sun ...

Ask clueless to tell you about developable & non-developable
surfaces <G>.
It's a hoot.

Not any good anymore, eh?
Not that you paid for anything. Such might leave clues.
