Some swept surfaces. The one in the normal reddish and tan colors has a wire cross-section composed of a parabola and a Catmull-Rom curve.
A design goal was to be able to put the cross-section curve in different orientations as it sweeps along the track curve.
Here are some swept volumes produced by sweeping a surface along a track curve.
The figure in the upper left is a volume produced by a rotational sweep.
A lofted surface between two ruled surfaces is meshed with Hexa elements.
