How to Smooth Minimal Surface Edges

Hello, I am a Grasshopper Newbie and I need some help with minimal surface finding. I received an example script with my desired 3d shape, but whenever I try to bake my own min surface mesh it ends up flat. In the images that I am attaching one can see the example on the right side and the shape that I get after baking on the left. What tools should I use to smooth those edges as it was done on the example ?

My baked mesh on the left and the example with the same settings on the right.

Hi Marius,

I'm happy to help advise (if I can), but the images you linked to on your post don't appear for me (I get an image about unregistered domain). Can you try either attaching to a post or directly inserting again in a new post?

Cheers, Jon

Maurice. Which plugin has forcedensityrelax component? When I search Grasshopper for the later command it provides no results. I looked trough the minsurf, Kangaroo and WeaverBird plugins.

Jon. I have reattached JPEG's to the original post.

This explains some errors when I opened script the first time. Installed the plugin, but not sure if it works. I select the forcedensityrelax output mesh and bake it, but do not get any results in Rhino.

BTW, thnx for the help.
