Description<br />

Mesh structures can also be used to define manifolds. Since meshes contain a<br />

number of nodes and, in the case of <strong>COMSOL</strong> Multiphysics, corresponding<br />

parameter values, a good geometric representation can be obtained using a suitable<br />

interpolation method for evaluating the values of the manifolds and its derivatives<br />

on parameter values that are inside the intervals between the given nodes. Mesh<br />

curves are handled by cubic spline interpolation.<br />

The matrix p and the vector par corresponds to the structures corresponding<br />

structures in an edge mesh representation. For the MeshCurve, they serve as the<br />

interpolation data to obtain intcurve.<br />
