Continuity Types

Continuity is the mathematical way to indicate how smooth the flow between two curves or surfaces is.

The main types of continuity are two:
 

Here is a brief description of the main G continuity levels available in think3 applications.


(*) The osculating plane W of a curve at one of its points is the plane formed by the principal normal (n) and the tangent to the curve at that point (t).



(**) Torsion is the rate of change of the osculating plane along a curve and is a measure of the deviation of a curve from a plane.
