It is an interesting but tricky question.

I had a tutor that often used to talk about 'equal-link-length-meshes', and I could never find any info on them by searching, until I discovered the term Chebyshev Nets.

You could find a Chebyshev Net by draping a network of springs over the surface, as in a fabric simulator, or maybe you could use the sort of approach described in this paper. Either way, the approach is iterative and more of a scripting than a grasshopper type problem.

Thank you, Daniel.
The paper about Chebyshev Nets is very interesting

I just posted a definition that constructs a chebyshev net. See if it is helpful!
