Formula

3⁢(sin⁡(x)⁢cos⁡(y)+sin⁡(y)⁢cos⁡(z)+cos⁡(x)⁢sin⁡(z))+2⁢(sin⁡(3⁢x)⁢cos⁡(y)+sin⁡(3⁢y)⁢cos⁡(z)+cos⁡(x)⁢sin⁡(3⁢z))−2⁢(sin⁡(x)⁢cos⁡(3⁢y)+sin⁡(y)⁢cos⁡(3⁢z)+cos⁡(3⁢x)⁢sin⁡(z))=03 \left(\sin\left(x\right) \cos\left(y\right) + \sin\left(y\right) \cos\left(z\right) + \cos\left(x\right) \sin\left(z\right)\right) + 2 \left(\sin\left(3 x\right) \cos\left(y\right) + \sin\left(3 y\right) \cos\left(z\right) + \cos\left(x\right) \sin\left(3 z\right)\right) - 2 \left(\sin\left(x\right) \cos\left(3 y\right) + \sin\left(y\right) \cos\left(3 z\right) + \cos\left(3 x\right) \sin\left(z\right)\right) = 0

Definition

Standard nodal approximation as shipped in math_art/minsurf/tpms.py. No exact definition is stored for this surface, so this approximation is all the record has; `approximates` is null rather than pointing at itself.
