Seifert surface

Hi everybody,

I'm fighting with a seifert surface :) ... sth like this http://drgoulu.com/2009/02/03/beaux-noeuds/

Have you got any idea?

You can use seifertview.exe to view or generate it, but how in gh?

Thanks a lot

Gianni

It's not look like borromean rings.

To create this surface try Mobius component from LunchBox (set T parameter to 1.5).

Thanks Igor, I appreciate your answer.

I tryied but nothing to do, as a moebius it seems a one side surface just a little bit different, I add a most clear image

being grasshopper can do functions, and has function components, just do some research to find its parametric formula and apply it to grasshoppers components. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SeifertSurface.html

Hi Michael, thanks for your suggestion. On google there nothing I can understand but I've asked for help to my friend, he's math teacher, I'll update the post soon

And thats a best solution I think. Please share theory after talking with your friend.

it is a mathematical surface, thus, it has an equation, as does a mobius strip. For instance this person wanted to do this surface, The find the equation and interpret it through grasshopper with f(x) functions.
