add center points in a wave surface

I found this definition and I' trying to set more then 2 center points. Thereby, which math expression should I use instead of addition? If somebody can also explain to me why do I have to set the integer of Ex and Ey as 70? Because I've tried to set other values and it's not working.

The 70 part of the question is solved (see the U feed).

The first part is way out of my math caliber (a non existed thing, to be honest, he he)

best, Peter

OK,

I barely can understand what these points do (my math caliber: until recently I believed that cos and sin are pretty much the same thing - identical curves, you know, he he) but give this a spin anyway.

Obviously you can add "points" at infinitum, but what all these things mean?

I've set this points in specific positions in a determined area! I'd like to see the interference waves created by these points! I could add these points just repeating some part of the definition . Now, i would like to use a mesh from surface instead of plane, but I also have no idea about how do it! I should change the definition, some kind of component that do the same for mesh that Sqgrid do for plane. Does anybody know? I didn't understand these genes that you set in your definition...

mesh you said? like this one? Adjust accordingly in order to avoid a gazillion of points (that could tax even an i7 CPU).

with regard these genes > forget them was a left over from something else.

on second thought maybe you mean this?

Thank you for you reply but is not it I have already achieved what I wanted but now I have more issues because it is not applying in my concept. I'll attach a deffinition that is not working just in the final step, where should create the wave by the intersections of the the 2 surfaces in rhino. The U parameter failed to collect data. I set the u+1 expression and connected the EX from the grid to the U but is still not working. Do you have some idea?
