Source 
pub fn detect_self_intersection(
    surface: &NurbsSurface,
    grid_res: usize,
    tolerance: f64,
) -> Result<Vec<SelfIntersectionCurve>, MathError>
Expand description

Detect self-intersections on a NURBS surface.

Samples the surface on a grid, finds non-adjacent regions where the surface folds back on itself, and traces the self-intersection curves.

§Parameters

  • surface: The NURBS surface to test
  • grid_res: Grid resolution for sampling (e.g., 20)
  • tolerance: Distance tolerance for considering points as intersecting

§Errors

Returns an error if NURBS evaluation or curve fitting fails.
